Utah Valley University
We educate clinical mental health counselor leaders and advocates who embody multicultural competence, ethical principles, and theoretically grounded practice
As part of Utah Valley University, our mission is built on the following action commitments:
We cultivate a program culture of belonging for students from diverse backgrounds. In all courses, students engage in self-reflective exploration while gaining practical counseling knowledge and skills.
We promote growth through experiential and engaged learning with a focus on practical application of counseling interventions for client well-being. We foster a clinical training environment that emphasizes lifespan development, professional advocacy, and community service.
We achieve excellence by preparing students to uphold rigorous ethical and theoretical standards in counseling practice, ensuring readiness to address the diverse needs of the communities they serve.

Utah Valley University is committed to preparing students for success in work and life through excellent and engaged teaching and scholarship — and our CMHC program is built on that foundation. Becoming a skilled clinician takes more than textbook knowledge — it takes practice, mentorship, and purpose. UVU's CACREP-accredited program delivers all three through hands-on clinical training, faculty who are active practitioners, and a curriculum grounded in both competence and compassion. Whether you're drawn to crisis work, community mental health, or private practice, this is where your clinical identity takes shape.
