Clinical Mental Health Counseling at UWS

Mental health counselors provide treatment to individuals, families, couples, children and groups. They treat clients with a variety of conditions, including anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, stress and suicidal impulses. They also help with mental and emotional health issues and relationship problems.

The University of Western States clinical mental health counseling graduate programs emphasizes a systems approach in which students consider the influence of families, groups, teams and organizations on individual mental health and performance. They also incorporate sport and performance content into the curriculum.

UWS offers two distinct degrees within the clinical mental health counseling program: Master of Science (MS) and Doctor of Education, Sport and Performance Specialization (EdD). Find out which degree is right for you - https://www.uws.edu/clinical-mental-health-counseling/
