Clinical Mental Health Counseling Specialization

The Clinical Mental Health Counseling program prepares students for licensure in professional counseling.  Upon graduation, the graduate is eligible to sit for the National Counselor’s Examination and the Texas Jurisprudence Examination. With these requirements completed, the graduate will apply with the state of Texas for a temporary license, becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor Intern. Interns are required to complete 3000 hours of direct and indirect service under the supervision of a Texas State Board of Examiner of Licensed Professional Counselors approved supervisor. After 3000 hours under supervision, the LPC Intern will submit the necessary paper work to the state to receive his or her permanent license.  It is the graduate’s responsibility to complete all of the necessary steps toward licensure post-graduation.
