Rehabilitation Counseling

What is Rehabilitation Counseling?

Rehabilitation counselors focus on helping individuals with physical, mental, emotional, or developmental disabilities achieve personal, career, and independent living goals. Students learn counseling techniques, case management, and vocational rehabilitation strategies to empower clients toward meaningful employment and self-sufficiency.

This field blends psychology, education, and human services to promote inclusion and quality of life. Rehabilitation counselors work in hospitals, government agencies, schools, and community organizations, guiding people through barriers to achieve greater independence, confidence, and participation in society.

“My heart breaks for my clients, but I know I'm helping them get back to life as much as they can.”
