Students interested in working toward a graduate degree in counseling are encouraged to contact the Counseling Program, the NMHU Admissions Office, and the NMHU

The rehabilitation counseling emphasis is designed to meet requirements set by the National Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification for certified rehabilitation counselors. The rehabilitation

counseling emphasis also meets requirements for Licensed Rehabilitation Counselor in the schools set by the State of New Mexico Public Education Department.

Mission of the Counseling Department

The mission is the NMHU Counselor Education Program is to train entry-level counselors who are prepared for positions in community service agencies as mental health

counselors, in school systems as school counselors, or in rehabilitation settings as rehabilitation counselors. Throughout their program of training, the emphasis is on the growth and development of each student to promote a positive self-concept and to maximize potential in all domains. The program is student-centered and outcome-based, seeking to train individuals who are skilled in working with diverse populations and who are ethical, competent, reflective practitioners.

Counseling Department Philosophy

The Counseling Department supports and promotes the following statements: 1. The professional counselor is a vital component in the mental health delivery

system and the school system.

(9)

New Mexico Highlands University COUNSELING PROGRAM: STUDENT HANDBOOK

UPDATED: 1 May 2011.

Effective 30 April 2011 – 31 August 2012 9 of 73 3. The growth and development of each person requires an ongoing daily

interaction which promotes positive self-concept and mental health.

4. The highest level of ethics is required in order to experience the most effective counseling.

5. Team participation and cooperation are necessary to promote positive client outcomes.

6. Proactive, knowledgeable professional counselors are needed if counseling is to thrive and expand.

7. The personal and professional growth of each counselor directly affects all of us. Self-Awareness

The counselor’s self development is a vital ingredient in the helping relationship, and counselor trainees within the program understand the necessity for learning about themselves and their relationship with others. As such, the program emphasizes a personal and professional growth orientation.

Students are expected to experience both professional and personal growth. To facilitate such growth, courses include self-awareness and self-exploration exercises which are used to enhance self-knowledge and awareness.

Counseling Disposition Inventory

“Carl Rogers (1961) stated that the person of the counselor has a greater impact on the therapeutic process than the skills and techniques used. Cavanagh (1982) supported Rogers’ supposition indicating that the personality of the counselor is more important than skills and knowledge. In the counseling process, the person of the counselor is the instrument through which the services are provided. While different counselors may use the same techniques, the delivery of these techniques will not be the same because the instruments being used to deliver the services are not the same” (Pierce, 2010, p. 48).1 Students in the NMHU Counseling Program will be evaluated on the following

dispositions several times throughout their programs to insure understanding and progress toward their future roles as counselors.

1. Empathy (the counselor senses accurately the feelings and personal meaning that the client is experiencing and communicates this acceptant understanding to the clients).

2. Genuineness (client is willing to be authentic, open, honest within the helping relationship).

4. Open-Mindedness (freedom from fixed preconceptions and an attitude of open receptive that which the client is expressing).

5. Cognitive Complexity (ability to view an individual within both an individualistic and systemic framework).

REVIEW OF PROGRESS GPA and Passing Grades

(18)

New Mexico Highlands University COUNSELING PROGRAM: STUDENT HANDBOOK

UPDATED: 1 May 2011.

Effective 30 April 2011 – 31 August 2012 18 of 73

All students must maintain an overall 3.0 GPA or higher. All practicum and internships must be passed to enroll in subsequent practicum or internship.

Probation and Remediation

In the event a student is placed on probation, a remediation plan will be developed by the student and the advisor with the approval of the counseling faculty. This plan will be in writing and will be signed by both the student and the advisor. A copy of the plan will be provided to the student and a copy will be placed in the student's file.

Review of Counseling

The counseling student will be assessed by the faculty after completing Counseling Practicum in Professional/School and Rehabilitation Counseling. (If concern is raised, this process can begin at any level.) The purpose of this review is to inform the student of her/his potential for development as a counselor as specified both by New Mexico Highlands University and the American Counseling Association (ACA), the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), or the Council on Rehabilitation Education (CORE).

1. After the student has fulfilled the required courses, and the Student Review Form has been completed, the Counseling Department Chair will review the form with the faculty supervisor and recommend one of the following:

a) The student may be asked to repeat a portion of the Counseling Practicum or do an additional Counseling Practicum.

b) When there are believed to be deficiencies, the student and the advisor will develop a plan of action specifying what the student must do to obtain additional skills and knowledge to proceed in the area of emphasis.

c) The student may be advised to transfer to a different area of emphasis within the master’s program.

Exit Criteria for Counseling and Guidance

1. Students work with their advisor (or another assigned faculty) to write the

professional paper. The final professional paper must be reviewed and approved by all counseling faculty of the student’s identified home campus (i.e. Las Vegas or Rio Rancho) in order for the student to successfully pass this criteria.

2. Students will take the Counselor Preparation Comprehensive Exam (CPCE) on a specified day, to be arranged each semester. Usually exams are given in the months of October and March.

Effective 30 April 2011 – 31 August 2012 20 of 73

week. Students on the Las Vegas campus are generally required to complete most of these hours at the Las Vegas Counseling Training Center. If attendance at an on-site Counseling Training Center is not available, or does not provide sufficient hours, the student will need to find an off-campus practicum site. In the practicum class, students are expected to have a minimum of 40 hours of direct client contact. The faculty person who conducts the practicum class can assign any other work he/she deems appropriate. Internship students must complete 300 clock hours of onsite work each semester. Internships typically run two semesters and the total number of hours on-site is 600. During the semester, 300 hours breaks down to roughly 20 hours per week on-site. Of that time, 40% (or 120 hours) must be in direct client contact, or approximately 8 hours of client contact per week. One hour of supervision is required per week. The time spent in the internship seminar will count toward the total hours.

Each student must have an internship setting that is appropriate for his/her emphasis. In the case of dual emphases, the student will do one semester of internship at a site appropriate for each emphasis. For example, a student doing a dual emphasis in Professional Counseling and in School Counseling will do one semester in a community mental health center and one semester in a school setting.

All internship students will come together for one classroom meeting every other week for the internship seminar. Students will meet with the faculty supervisor responsible for their respective emphasis.

Goals & Learning Objectives

The internship is designed to provide the student with an opportunity to practice and expand his or her counseling and/or guidance skills in a setting other than the

university environment. The on-site supervisor will closely monitor student activities, provide effective and appropriate feedback, work co-operatively with the university supervisor, and encourage student participation in a variety of on-site activities.

New Mexico Highlands University COUNSELING PROGRAM: STUDENT HANDBOOK

UPDATED: 1 May 2011.

Effective 30 April 2011 – 31 August 2012 24 of 73 • Have been apprised of the program's expectations, requirements, and

evaluation procedures for student in practicum and/or internship. Selection of Internship Site

The first consideration in arranging placement is the particular interests of the individual student. Each potential internship student is asked to indicate the type of school or client population with which he or she would like to be involved. Lists of recommended and/or approved internship sites are then surveyed in an attempt to match the

student’s interests with the available school or agency. Placement procedures are arranged by the student with guidance from the University internship supervisor. Students are reminded of the policy adopted by the University counseling faculty, that the selection of an internship site in which the student is currently employed must have prior approval from the faculty. In addition, no internship will be approved for which the student has not been academically prepared.

1. The student must contact the University internship supervisor and review appropriate sites in an attempt to match student’s interests with an available school or agency, and review requirements for an on-site supervisor, school, and/or agency.

2. For school counseling students, the initial agreement, according to protocol must be made by the University internship supervisor with the school principal or director of personnel. In school settings, the director of Guidance

Services/Wellness is usually consulted for assistance in internship placement with approval from the building principal and the assigned school counselor to do the on-site supervision before internship placement is accepted.

3. The student then contacts the internship site and arranges for an on-site interview. This interview provides an opportunity for both the student and the school/agency to clearly delineate their expectations for the internship

experience. The student is encouraged to interview with at least two sites before a selection is made. The student should provide a current resume for each potential site. Following the interview, if the school/agency representative thinks that the student and the school/agency experiences or expectations are

mismatched, the internship placement may be refused and another placement sought. If the school/agency accepts the student for internship placement, a contract should be negotiated specifying the expectations and responsibilities of all parties involved.

4. The student reviews the internship contract, agreements, expectation, and responsibilities for approval with the on-site supervisor, the internship placement administrator, and the University internship supervisor.
