Overview

At the Clinical Mental Health Counseling (Online) program offered by Houston Christian University you’ll learn how to provide effective therapy, put theories and context into practice through in-person practicum and internship field experiences, and gain a foundation in psychopathology, diagnosis, and treatment approaches for further research and education endeavors.

Key Facts

The online MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling integrates an approved counseling practicum, where you gain real experience in the day-to-day projects and tasks in a clinic, hospital, private practice, or another setting, all under the guidance and close supervision of a licensed psychologist or licensed professional counselor-supervisor (LCP-S).

Supervised internships in the online mental health counseling program contribute to state requirements for an in-field learning experience and practically prepare you to apply knowledge of mental health and counseling techniques to improve the lives of clients seeking help. Through our community relationships in Houston, we can help you find an internship location.
