Description
Offers The Advanced Certificate in Clinical Mental Health Counseling which is a “licensure qualifying” bridge program approved by the New York State Education Department (NYSED), Office of the Professions. The Advanced Certificate in Clinical Mental Health Counseling program offers the opportunity for individuals with a master’s degree in school counseling or other related counseling degree to meet the educational requirements for licensure as a mental health counselor in New York State. The 18 credit advanced certificate is predicated upon the individual having completed a master’s degree in school counseling or other related counseling degree with a minimum of 48 credits in specified core educational content areas as delineated in the state regulations for mental health counselor licensure. Individuals who graduated from a program of less than 48 credits will be required to take additional coursework above the 18 credits to ensure meeting the state requirement of a minimum of 60 graduate credits. Upon application candidates will have their transcript(s) reviewed by the department to ascertain the needed number of graduate credits required for the advanced certificate. Upon completion of the advanced certificate the individual will meet the educational requirements for licensure as a mental health counselor in New York State. They will then be eligible to file for a “limited permit” and begin accruing the 3000 post master’s experiential hours required for licensure. They will also be eligible to file to take the National Clinical Mental Health Counselor Examination (NCMHCE) which is the licensure examination designated by the State. There is also the possibility that the Office of the Professions may accept experiential hours gained after the receipt of the individual’s master’s degree if the experience was in an approved setting under the supervision of a recognized licensed mental health professional.
