Overview

Through a combination of research, theory, and practice, our Clinical Mental Health Counseling program encourages graduate students to become reflective practitioners.

McDaniel College graduates are employed in a variety of settings, including public and private schools, community colleges, hospitals, clinics, private practices, and human service agencies.

The Clinical Internship

As an intern, you will complete a 600 clock hour experience at a site or sites that prepare you for work in hospitals, private practice, human services agencies and clinics.
You will engage in both individual and group counseling, and a variety of related activities that a regularly employed staff member in the setting would be expected to perform.

These experiences are meant to be the culminating experience in your program of study by allowing you the opportunity to apply, evaluate, and refine clinical skills by bridging the gap between theory and practice.

Throughout your experience, you will also develop the personal qualities, characteristics and behaviors of a professional counselor.
