Department of Counseling and Human Services
Welcome to The Johns Hopkins University’s Department of Counseling and Human Services. Our distinguished faculty share the core values of counselor education: promoting research, commitment to diversity, understanding human development theories, and emphasizing direct supervision in counselor training.
The mission of the Department of Counseling and Human Services is to prepare highly qualified professionals who provide leadership in the development of personal, organizational and collective well-being in the fields of clinical and school counseling. The Department is committed to recruiting and retaining diverse graduate students who want to work as counseling professionals in order to serve the needs of clients and K-12 students in a changing social and economic context. As a department, we are also committed to providing graduate students with the preparation needed in order to promote equity and social justice through the development of interdisciplinary and multi-organizational partnerships, as well as instruction that is varied for different types of learners. We provide on-line courses, didactic courses (lecture format), and experiential learning experiences (e.g., laboratory training).
Our commitment and dedication to our aforementioned mission is reflected throughout our programs, our curriculum, field experiences, and our interactions with students, fellow professionals, the campus, and larger community.
