About the Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program
Program Mission
The CACREP-accredited Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Westminster University is housed within the Counseling and Counselor Education (CCE) program of the School of Nursing and Health Sciences. The program educates students in the fundamentals of counseling theory and practice in an experiential and interpersonal learning environment that facilitates personal and professional growth. Our aim is to train professional counselors with a sound basis in ethical behavior, counseling theories, and professional counseling skills, creating a knowledge base and capacity for thinking that can be translated into effective counseling practice with individuals, families, and groups from diverse backgrounds. We strive to guide our students to become more self-aware and self-reflective as they hone their intellectual and emotional skills to practice in a multicultural, global society with increased sensitivity toward the needs of marginalized groups. We encourage critical thinking, emphasize professional honesty and integrity, and foster a commitment to providing services to local communities.
