A Career with a Future

Job openings for mental health counselors are projected to grow much faster than the average for all occupations, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Health insurance companies are increasingly providing for reimbursement of counselors as a less costly alternative to psychiatrists and psychologists.
