Why Choose this Degree?

Crisis counselors offer support to those suffering from a recent crisis, such as a natural disaster or the death of a loved one. Trauma can have devastating effects on a person’s mental health — and crisis counselors can help minimize the damage caused by major crises.

Crisis counseling (or crisis intervention) is generally very brief, often lasting only a few weeks. That’s because crisis counselors seek to address people’s immediate needs, rather than provide long-term therapy. Crisis couselors provide emotional support to their clients and help ensure their physical and psychological safety in the wake of traumatic events.
