University of Tennessee at Knoxville  

For the Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program at the University of Tennessee think “rigorous, experiential, self-development.” The program exceeds educational expectations for licensure in Tennessee and most other states. Faculty deeply value students and the work they are preparing to do and thus support them through a rigorous curriculum aimed at professional and personal development. The program features extensive clinical experiences, development of student self-awareness, and development of students’ unique scholarly interests. Program strengths include expertise for services with troubled children and youth, and deeply healing therapeutic relationships for a wide variety of clients and clinical mental health settings.
