Mental-health counselor ranked 33rd on the Money magazine list of "Best Jobs" for 2006 as reported in the May edition of the popular periodical. Occupations were selected by Money and Salary.com using US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics data on positions that will grow at an above-average pace over the coming decade and require at least a bachelor's degree. Jobs were then scrutinized according to salary (average annual pay over $50,000), number employed and annual openings. Finally, the ranking took into account stress levels, flexibility in hours and working environment, creativity and how easy it is to enter and advance in the field.

The Niagara University College of Education’s graduate program in mental-health counseling has received the licensure qualifying designation from the New York State Department of Education.
The program, founded in 1994, was the first of its kind in the state. Graduate students have the opportunity to complete coursework and internship experiences with experienced faculty who hold both a Ph.D. and licensure in the profession.
“Mental health counselors have the unique opportunity to work in a diverse array of settings on many critical issues that affect children, youth, families and our community,” said Dr. Debra Colley, dean of the College of Education.
The 60-credit-hour program requires a 1,000-hour field-placement requirement. In addition to training in individual, group, couples and family counseling, the mental-health counseling program also requires a course in mediation and conflict resolution. Upon completion of the program, candidates are eligible for their licensure to practice mental-health counseling in New York state.
