GROW WITH GUIDANCE

As counselors themselves, OCU’s faculty know that part of the journey to becoming an effective mental health counselor includes developing a professional identity and sense of self. To help students through that vulnerable requirement, faculty offer guidance and support throughout the program and work to connect students with resources they need to thrive academically and professionally. Instructors are prepared to partner with students in developing their skills, expanding their knowledge and preparing for counseling licensure.
