Introduction
Together with a Christian frame of reference and Christian faculty, Bushnell University’s Clinical Mental Health Counseling program is distinctive in several important ways.
First, you will gain a solid foundation of counseling skills, procedures, and theories. Building upon that base, you’ll be encouraged to develop a theoretical orientation to counseling that matches your own personality and value system. Students implement and refine this personal approach to counseling in their second year by seeing clients in the Bushnell Counseling Center. All Practicum and Internship students receive individual and group supervision from qualified supervisors throughout the program.
By the end of the first year, you will focus on a special population, clinical issue, or effective treatment modality. In other words, you will have developed your own area of specialization. Additionally, you will individualize your own program through choices of electives and numerous internship sites available to our students.
Graduates of the program meet the academic standards leading to Oregon licensure as a professional counselor (LPC). LPCs offer counseling services to individuals or groups in private practice and agency settings. These services may be in the areas of personal-social concerns, educational programs, and career decisions. Counseling services include the use of recognized best practices, counseling techniques, appraisal/assessment methods, and current research.
