Clinical Mental Health Counseling Programs

Clinical mental health counseling (CMHC) programs prepare counselors to work with individuals, couples, families and groups in community agencies, private practice, hospitals and treatment settings. They are the usual route toward professional counselor licensure (LPC, LMHC, LPCC, LCPC or a similar state title), which also requires post-degree supervised experience and an examination.

Rule: Included when the program's own official title or description names clinical mental health counseling as its specialty. Other specialties offered by the same school are not counted. This page updates from the directory's verified facts.
