1 HAWAII PACIFIC UNIVERSITY PROGRAM OVERVIEW DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY MASTER OF ARTS IN CLINICAL MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING The Clinical Mental Health Counseling Master s Degree Program (CMHC-MA) is a post-baccalaureate program in Psychology that serves both students looking to become licensed as professional clinical mental health counselors and those seeking to eventually proceed into doctoral programs. The program design and training philosophy reflect the scientist-practitioner model of training in psychology. Students are provided with intensive instruction in the theoretical framework of psychology and broad training and experience in empirically-supported methods of practice. The program curriculum was developed in keeping with standards set by the Masters in Psychology Accreditation Council (MPAC) and by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP), and fulfills the academic requirements for Hawaii State licensure as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor, as well the academic requirements for counselor credentialing at the national level (candidates for state and national licensure must also fulfill a post-graduate clinical supervision requirement). The CMHC Master s Degree Program is a 60-credit program that can be completed in two years by being a full time student and taking classes in the summer. Internship experiences are incorporated into the curriculum and provide varied and intense hands-on mental health counseling training experiences under supervision of licensed professionals. Mission Statement The mission of the Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling program is to prepare students for sociallyresponsible careers as professional clinical counselors. In collaborative partnership with community-based and interdisciplinary training sites, we strive to create a learning environment that is grounded in an appreciation for both psychological science and human diversity. Training is based on a scientist-practitioner model, emphasizing evidence-based practice, ethical and cultural competence, and development across the lifespan. Our shared goal is to graduate skilled, productive and compassionate counseling professionals who are committed to service and lifelong learning. Goals: Students who complete the Master of Arts (MA) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling will be competent in the following areas: 1. Professionalism: Understand professional issues relevant to the practice of mental health counseling; and demonstrate the ability to apply and adhere to the legal and ethical guidelines of the counseling profession; 2. Diversity: Demonstrate knowledge of and appreciation for individual differences and the diversity of social/ cultural, biological, developmental and environmental influences on human behavior, cognition, and emotions. 3. Practice: Demonstrate knowledge, skill and multicultural competency in diagnosis, assessment, treatment, and prevention of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. 4. Research: Competently interpret and evaluate professional research literature, and demonstrate both the knowledge and appropriate application of empirically-supported assessment and treatment methodologies in practice. 5. Values: Demonstrate self-awareness, social and environmental responsibility, and a commitment to service and life-long learning.

2 Employment Opportunities for Graduates Clinical Mental Health Counseling is a distinct profession with state and national standards for education, training, and clinical practice. Mental health counselors (MHCs) practice in a variety of settings, including community agencies, managed care organizations, hospitals, schools, substance abuse treatment centers, judicial systems, university counseling centers, private practice, and more; and provide a full range of services, including assessment and diagnosis; psychotherapy with individuals, couples, families, and groups; treatment planning and utilization review; career counseling; substance abuse treatment; psychoeducational and prevention programs; and crisis management (The American Mental Health Counselors Association, 2010). While states vary in their requirements for licensure as a mental health counselor, counselors may be licensed in all 50 states, including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Guam. Hawai`i Senate Bill (SB2159 HD1), signed into law in 2008, indefinitely extends Hawai`i's professional licensure provisions for MHCs and also mandates health insurance coverage for services provided by MHCs. This Bill means that graduates who successfully become licensed as MHCs will now have access to more, and better-paid, job opportunities in Hawai`i, including private practice opportunities. As is true nationwide, MHCs in Hawaii currently work in an array of settings, including schools (mental health counselors in public schools in Hawaii are called School-Based Behavioral Health Specialists [SBBHs]). Employment prospects for mental health counselors are good in Hawai i and in many other areas of the United States. The U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that a shortage of qualified counselors exists nationally, and expects the employment of mental health counselors to grow by 24 percent between 2008 and 2018, or much faster than the average of all occupations (BLS, ). COURSE OF STUDY The Master s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling program consists of 60 semester hours of required coursework, typically completed over two full calendar years (i.e., Fall, Spring, and Summer sessions). The course of study includes a core curriculum of 48 hours and 12 hours of elective courses. The core curriculum includes course work in theory, methods, and skills. Courses are scheduled for evenings and weekends, and/or online to accommodate working students. During the second year of study, students complete 2 semesters of internship under licensed supervisors at approved community sites designed to provide them with counseling experience in community settings. The course electives enable students to choose courses in specialty areas such as substance abuse counseling and family therapy. Students who wish to prepare for future studies at the doctoral level can also elect to prepare and defend a Master's thesis.
