About
Do you want to help people master the challenges of life? Are you interested in encouraging others to make positive changes in their lives?
Rehabilitation counselors are trained and committed to providing the help and support to master the challenges of life. With this degree, you will be able to help people maximize their potential and make life changes for the better. As a rehabilitation counselor, you will help people cope with personal and social accidents, or the stress of daily life. Rehabilitation counselors work toward increasing a person's capacity to live independently.
Clinical counselors help people who have mental health concerns such as mood disorders (depression, bipolar), thought disorders (schizophrenia) and situational life issues (family, relational, or vocational).

They evaluate a person's abilities, interests and talents, to develop realistic career goals.
