School Psychologists, School Counselors, Mental Health Counselors and Marriage and Family Therapists are in increasing demand by community educational, health and other organizations. These mental health professionals play vital roles in helping children, young people and adults to face the demands and stresses of a complex world.

The master's degree programs in counseling, psychology and therapy offered at the LIU Hudson campuses at Rockland and Westchester, and the West Point educational site, prepare students for a wide variety of professional careers in the areas of School Psychology, School Counseling, Mental Health Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy.
