Position Summary
Join a vibrant faculty and growing graduate student population in the MS Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Rhode Island College (RIC). RIC was established in 1854 as Rhode Island’s first public institution of higher education and as a regional comprehensive public college we serve approximately 5,800 undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students through its five schools. Recently designated as a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI), RIC proudly serves a diverse student body at the graduate and undergraduate levels. Our broader community, the city of Providence, provides a vibrant backdrop with access to unique urban amenities and experiences.
The MS Clinical Mental Health Counseling program (https : / / www.ric.edu / department-directory / department-counseling-educational-leadership-and-school-psychology / ms-clinical-mental-health-counseling), situated within the Department of Counseling, Educational Leadership & School Psychology, provides the academic requirements that prepare students to become licensed mental health counselors. Through a rigorous curriculum and supervised clinical practice, students learn to provide assessment, therapy, consultation, and prevention-oriented services to meet the diverse needs of individuals, families and groups in a variety of mental health and community settings. The program consists of seven faculty members, with diverse areas of expertise and a commitment to practice-based learning and teaching evidence-based and culturally responsive practices. In 2016, the program was the first in Rhode Island to achieve CACREP accreditation (receiving the maximum eight years accreditation) and is expecting a site visit in spring 2024. Between the MS Clinical Mental Health Counseling program and the CGS Advanced Counseling Program, we prepare the largest number of LMHCs in the state.
