Counseling Psychology (PhD)

Program description, career opportunities, licensure and accreditation.

The PhD Program in Counseling Psychology is fully accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA). Counseling psychologists are defined as those who enter into professional relationships with individuals and groups and bring to those relationships knowledge of psychology as a science, knowledge of counseling theory and research, a personally integrated theory of counseling, and an ethical responsibility.

The major principles underlying the Program in Counseling Psychology are a focus on a developmental understanding of clients; commitment to a health model of intervention; and appreciation of the gendered, cultural, and institutional contexts of people’s lives, as these contexts affect both clients and counselors.

The program follows the scientist–practitioner model of training and is organized in three areas: general psychology, including statistics and research methodology; counseling and vocational psychology; and patterns of learning experiences designed to meet the professional goals of program matriculants.

In addition to course requirements, students must pass a comprehensive examination to be admitted to candidacy, complete a full-year, full-time internship; have an approved dissertation proposal and dissertation; and pass a final oral examination of the dissertation.

Graduates of the program are eligible to sit for the New York State psychology licensing examination and are prepared to practice in diverse settings such as colleges, clinics, hospitals, and community agencies, as well as pursue careers in research and teaching.

Graduates of the program become fully qualified psychologists with specialized training in counseling and are eligible for licensure by the state. Learn more about licensure requirements in those states in which students are doing learning placements.

The Counseling Psychology program has been fully accredited since 1981 by the American Psychological Association, Office of Program Consultation and Accreditation, 750 First Street, NE, Washington DC 20002-4242 (202-336-5979). Questions related to the program's accreditation status may be directed to this office.

Meet NYU Steinhardt

Staff Writer

NYU was founded to be “ metropolitan in character , democratic in spirit,” and responsive to the needs of New York City’s rapidly evolving population. Today, these themes remain at the core of NYU. And they have led the University to develop 10 distinct undergraduate schools and colleges in New York City, degree-granting campuses in Abu Dhabi and Shanghai, and 12 additional global academic centers and programs in cities around the world. NYU’s urban spirit is fundamental to the student experience. For example, professors are experts in their fields who are tapped into local networks; courses take advantage of the opportunities and interact with the city culture; and internships are right around the corner. And at the NYU Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, impact, innovation, and community all come together for a singular academic experience.

Here, over 3,000 undergraduate students explore careers in a wide range of disciplines, from education and psychology to music and media. With roots as the first school of pedagogy in the United States, Steinhardt now includes 195 undergraduate and graduate degree programs. With so many options, finding your path is a process of exploration, students say. “I doubted that I’d find a field that encompassed my three greatest passions: language, health care, and service. But my Communicative Sciences and Disorders major was a perfect fit!” exclaims Joyce Chung , Class of 2023.

Student Journeys

At Steinhardt students chart their path through academic exploration and real-world opportunities to practice what they learn. They can delve into different topics and zero in on their passions, propelling them beyond traditional book and lecture learning. For example, students roll up their sleeves and test their expanding skill sets with fieldwork, self-directed studies, and guidance from professionals. Read on to find out how students in a variety of Steinhardt’s undergraduate programs found their callings.

A Music Theory and Composition Major Discovers His Rhythm

After taking a Steinhardt two-week film scoring workshop as a high school student, Cameron Moody knew he wanted to attend college at NYU. Now a Music Theory and Composition major concentrating in screen scoring, Cameron’s career took off when composer Michael Abel evaluated his work. This interaction resulted in an invitation to help score an HBO docuseries. Thanks to the skills he learned at Steinhardt and on the job, Cameron is developing his own approach to scoring. He watches scenes several times before attempting musical accompaniment. “What is happening musically? In terms of mood, what is the scene like? Is it sad or romantic? Or is it an action sequence? Is something happening that I should call special attention to?” he asks. “Once I figure that out, usually with the help of the director, that’s when the creative process starts.”

A Communicative Sciences and Disorders Student Refines His Interests

NYU Steinhardt’s breadth of offerings presents unique opportunities for students to craft their futures. For example, Kenzo Kimura , a Communicative Sciences and Disorders major on the prehealth track, says, “Outside of my prehealth requirements, I took various courses relating to education, health, and different cultures. My honors thesis focuses on dismantling bias against non-English accents. I hope my research on speech perception will help tackle important issues, such as anti-immigrant discrimination in the 21st century.” His studies have led him to research speech development in multilingual individuals. Kenzo plans to use what he has learned at NYU Steinhardt as a springboard to a career in medicine.

An Education Studies Major Finds Her Focus

When she started at NYU, recent graduate Jolie Radunich didn’t know what direction her life would take. Then, she took Education and Social Entrepreneurship, a course offered through Steinhardt’s Education Studies program. She’d been investigating opportunities in early childhood education but didn’t picture herself as a classroom teacher. “When I started to read all the case studies and hear from our guest speakers, I felt like these were the types of creative and transformational opportunities I wanted to be a part of,” she says. Ultimately, she chose to major in Education Studies. Now Jolie is pursuing a career in ed tech. Recently, she published a book called Elephant Prints: Reconstructing Our Image of Brilliance , which challenges perceptions of education by unveiling underrepresented educators.

A Digital Art and Design Minor Takes an Interdisciplinary Approach

Many students find that interdisciplinary studies allow them to focus on the topics that feed their passions. For example, College of Arts and Science Economics major Cathy Zhang did this by minoring in Digital Art and Design at NYU Steinhardt in addition to Business Studies at the Stern School of Business. “When I came to NYU, I had no expectations of where university life would take me,” says Cathy. “I took every day as it came and talked to as many people as I could. I viewed choosing classes as an opportunity to learn things that were intrinsically motivating to me. NYU provides so many resources to find your niche. So even those studying similar subjects can have an entirely different story. It’s an amazing part of this school.”

Two Media, Culture, and Communication Majors Gain Podcast Success

As juniors, Joanna Yamakami and Arnell Ariyana began thinking seriously about life after graduation. The more they explored their options, the more they became fascinated by unconventional career choices. Drawing on their skills as Media, Culture, and Communication (MCC) majors, they decided to turn their curiosity into a podcast. As a result, So, What Do You Do? was born. “As an MCC major, I can analyze how to tell stories and figure out which ones have the urgency to be told,” says Joanna. Their podcast premiered on WNYU , NYU’s student-run radio station. Since then, they’ve interviewed an urban explorer, a professional cuddler, a stuntwoman, a stand-up comedian, and more. In 2019 Joanna and Arnell went on to become official Webby Award honorees.

Teacher education, food photography , instrumental performance, studio art, documentary filmmaking, and audiology are just some of the subjects students can study at NYU Steinhardt. Here are a few more unique course options:

Adaptations for Specialized Populations This course teaches students various approaches to art therapy when working with clients with cognitive or physical limitations or chronic illnesses.

Advanced Topics in Food Systems: Food Futures In this course students weigh the impacts of overusing fertilizer, exploiting fossil fuels, and other human-made issues in our food systems, ultimately seeking sustainable solutions.

Carpe Datum: Data Science for Life’s Big Questions In this course students learn to code in the R language and use simulation-based methods to answer theoretical questions.

Concert Management Students get an introduction to the concert business, including how to plan and execute all aspects of a live performance, from costuming and crowd management to tour planning and contracts.

Accomplished Alumni

NYU Steinhardt’s alumni are proof the school is positioned at the nexus of arts, education, communication, and culture. Students graduate ready to pursue wide-ranging opportunities for cross-disciplinary study and collaboration.

Emily Weiss (Class of 2007), founder and chairwoman of Into the Gloss and Glossier, a digital-first beauty company, has been named to Forbes ’ list of 30 Under 30 and Time ’s Next Generation Leaders. Additionally, Glossier was nominated for Inc. Company of the Year in 2017.

Ian Axel and Chad King (both Class of 2007) were music business students when they began collaborating. They formed a duo, A Great Big World, which won a 2015 Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Say Something” with Christina Aguilera.

Willa Tellekson-Flash (Class of 2018) is founder and director of community at Public, an investing platform that gained $220 million in venture funding this year. She is responsible for member engagement, education, and community moderation.

Kweighbaye Kotee (Class of 2009), a Media, Culture, and Communication major, founded the Bushwick Film Festival while still an undergraduate. At the time, Lucy Liu selected it for an inaugural IFundWomen Jane Walker First Women Grant. Kweighbaye has since expanded her work to found the Bushwick Film Institute, which empowers historically marginalized storytellers.

Gun Violence Interventions: A Symposium on Hospital-Based Programs

Every day, nearly 300 people are victims of gun violence in the United States. Nationally, community organizations, health departments and health care systems are working together to reduce the devastating impact  of this public health crisis.

The Global Center for Implementation Science at the NYU School of Global Public Health brought together experts from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, NYC Health+Hospitals, Northwell Health, NYU Langone Medical Center, University of Arkansas, Northwestern University, and Bronx Rises Against Gun (B.R.A.G.) Violence on March 13th to discuss strategies for implementing and scaling Hospital-Based Violence Intervention Programs (HVIPs). A compelling research and policy agenda emerged that includes the urgent need to mobilize communities and elevate their voices, support cross sector collaboration, invest in workforce development, and  implement state and local policies that incentivize scale up of effective solutions.

“To see individuals that used to be perpetrators of violence now being healers of that violence is immeasurable.” - Dr. Noe Romo

Title : Active carbons as nanoporous materials for solving of environmental problems

However, up to now, the main carriers of catalytic additives have been mineral sorbents: silica gels, alumogels. This is obviously due to the fact that they consist of pure homogeneous components SiO2 and Al2O3, respectively. It is generally known that impurities, especially the ash elements, are catalytic poisons that reduce the effectiveness of the catalyst. Therefore, carbon sorbents with 5-15% by weight of ash elements in their composition are not used in the above mentioned technologies. However, in such an important field as a gas-mask technique, carbon sorbents (active carbons) are carriers of catalytic additives, providing effective protection of a person against any types of potent poisonous substances (PPS). In ESPE “JSC "Neorganika" there has been developed the technology of unique ashless spherical carbon carrier-catalysts by the method of liquid forming of furfural copolymers with subsequent gas-vapor activation, brand PAC. Active carbons PAC have 100% qualitative characteristics of the three main properties of carbon sorbents: strength - 100%, the proportion of sorbing pores in the pore space – 100%, purity - 100% (ash content is close to zero). A particularly outstanding feature of active PAC carbons is their uniquely high mechanical compressive strength of 740 ± 40 MPa, which is 3-7 times larger than that of  such materials as granite, quartzite, electric coal, and is comparable to the value for cast iron - 400-1000 MPa. This allows the PAC to operate under severe conditions in moving and fluidized beds.  Obviously, it is time to actively develop catalysts based on PAC sorbents for oil refining, petrochemicals, gas processing and various technologies of organic synthesis.

Victor M. Mukhin was born in 1946 in the town of Orsk, Russia. In 1970 he graduated the Technological Institute in Leningrad. Victor M. Mukhin was directed to work to the scientific-industrial organization "Neorganika" (Elektrostal, Moscow region) where he is working during 47 years, at present as the head of the laboratory of carbon sorbents.     Victor M. Mukhin defended a Ph. D. thesis and a doctoral thesis at the Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia (in 1979 and 1997 accordingly). Professor of Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia. Scientific interests: production, investigation and application of active carbons, technological and ecological carbon-adsorptive processes, environmental protection, production of ecologically clean food.
