About the course

By studying clinical counseling at Illinois Tech, you'll gain the skills needed to serve individuals with a diverse array of mental health or disability-related problems impacting the individual and the family in a variety of clinical settings and with respect for the influences of multicultural factors such as culture, ethnicity, race, religion, gender, and sexual orientation. Students also receive training in the vocational, educational, and personal adjustment of individuals with physical, mental, and emotional disabilities. Students are provided a comprehensive education in principles of both clinical rehabilitation and clinical mental health counseling, and then choose a specialization in one of these two areas through their internship experience.

　　The clinical counseling program is designed to prepare students to function as counselors for persons with a variety of needs, including mental health issues impacting the individual and/or family, and persons with physical or mental disabilities to address psychosocial and vocational adjustment. The program is grounded in a strengths-based philosophy of client empowerment where the counselor?s role is to assist individuals to realize their optimum level of mental health and personal wellness, including vocational adjustment and independent living. This is done through the use of a variety of therapeutic interventions, including individual, group and/or family counseling, diagnosis, case management, and the provision or coordination of assessment, training, placement, and follow-up services. The demand for rehabilitation counselors and clinical mental health counselors has exceeded the supply in recent years in public, private, nonprofit, and for-profit sectors.
