A degree that qualifies for certification as a school counselor or school psychologist generally is not sufficient to meet the requirements for licensure as a mental health counselor. You must complete additional graduate coursework, including supervised internship in mental health counseling, to meet the requirements for licensure. A degree in school counseling, school psychology or another field that is not registered as leading to licensure in New York or accredited as a clinical mental health counseling program by CACREP may not meet the education requirements for Mental Health Counseling. An applicant with a degree in another field must be individually evaluated to determine what additional graduate coursework, including supervised internship/practicum, must be completed to constitute an equivalent degree. Applicants are required to take the National Clinical Mental Health Counselor Examination (NCMHCE), an assessment not given as part of the Marywood Counseling Program. |
Each individual who graduates from a program outside of New York must apply for licensure and then be individually evaluated to determine if the applicant has satisfied education requirements equivalent to a New York licensure qualifying program. The Bureau of Comparative Education will review the Form 2, transcript, course syllabi, and other information that is submitted directly by the college or university. An individual with a master’s in school counseling could apply for licensure and individual evaluation by the Education Department. The Department would provide the student with a list of deficiencies in coursework and/or internship. If agreed to by the school, the student could enroll as a non-matriculated student in a program registered as licensure qualifying in mental health counseling. |
