Overview

Clinical counselors help people who have mental health concerns such as mood disorders (depression, bipolar), thought disorders (schizophrenia) and situational life issues (family, relational, or vocational). As a clinical counselor, you would work toward increasing a person's coping skills, self-efficacy, and self-esteem. Career counselors help people make career decisions. They evaluate a person's abilities, interests and talents, to develop realistic career goals.

If you are interested in the fields of rehabilitation and mental health, you should explore these fields in greater depth prior to enrolling in any master's program, such as East Carolina University's Rehabilitation Counseling, M.Sc. one.
