Why Choose a Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling?

A Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) is trained to treat mental health, human relationship, education and career concerns within ethical, developmental, preventive and treatment contexts. As demand grows for compassionate, disciplined professionals to help treat these issues, your career outlook is excellent. Faculty in this program are either licensed psychologists or mental health counselors and bring real-world knowledge and experience to their teaching. You’ll benefit from their expertise as you accrue on-site counseling experience, get feedback, insight, and support from peers and professors. 

Graduates of this program have built careers as mental health counselors, social service counselors, rehabilitation counselors, social and community service managers, and have landed director positions as well. The current moment demands fortitude, compassion, and a degree from one of the top mental health counseling graduate programs in the region, Manhattan University.
