Clinical Mental Health Advanced Training Certificate

The University of Redlands is proud to offer a certification in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.  This program offers advanced clinical training, through graduate credit courses and professional development workshops, for individuals possessing at least a 48-unit Master’s degree in counseling or a closely related field.

Senate Bill 788 was signed by the Governor of California, acknowledging the Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) as a new counseling profession in the state of California.  The new LPCC field, now recognized in all 50 states, will be regulated in California by the Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS).  Additional information on licensing can be found on their website, www.bbs.ca.gov. 

The Clinical Mental Health Advanced Training Certificate is ideal for individuals lacking the necessary coursework to transition into this innovative mental health field or for counselors from other states seeking licensure in California.

The first cohort will start in September 2011.  There are a limited number of seats available for this program.
