What Do Students and Alumni Say About the MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program

“The program shaped both my professional journey and personal growth. The caring faculty and staff believed in me as a student, future clinician, and person. It’s a truly supportive and meaningful learning community.” - Candi Wolfe, G'25

"My experiences in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling (CMHC) program profoundly shaped my understanding of effective counseling practices. It not only provided me with essential knowledge and skills but also highlighted the significance of self-care and support. The CMHC faculty instilled in me the belief that being present for others, whether clients or colleagues, establishes a solid foundation for healing and growth. The example set by the faculty inspired me to create nurturing environments where everyone can flourish, just as they did for me." - Michelle Loucraft G '23

“My experience in Bay Path University’s Clinical Mental Health Counseling program helped shape my identity as a counselor and strengthened my commitment to serving others. The opportunity to connect classroom learning with clinical practice was especially meaningful as I developed my confidence and counseling skills. My journey has since led me to earn my PhD and return to Bay Path as an adjunct faculty member, where I now have the privilege of supporting future counselors. Being able to contribute to the community that helped prepare me for this work is incredibly rewarding.”
