The Human Service Department is pleased to be able to offer the following graduate certificate in counseling in support of Master of Arts in Psychology at National-Louis University. It should be noted that this course selection may or may not satisfy the requirements of other state licenses or certificates. Persons providing these services work in family service agencies, community mental health centers, township and city governmentally run counseling centers and hundreds of other public and private agencies in Northern Illinois.
Counselors have a responsibility to implement the best clinical process for their clients.
In order to prepare students for this imperative, the Human Service Department has set up a series of courses intended to supplement the didactic courses in Psychology. Changes in the curriculum may occur as state licensure requirements may change. Due to the nature of this combined program, students will be reviewed by the Illinois Department of Professional Regulation on a course by course basis. This will require students to retain copies of all course outlines to be used as a part of their application for the exams. The Human Service Department has developed their courses based on the Counselor model.
