Do you feel burdened to help hurting people and families overcome challenges and heal from trauma? The need for competent, compassionate mental health professionals continues to grow, and SFBC’s online degrees in counseling can equip you to minister to the mental, emotional, and spiritual needs of your community.

SFBC’s counseling-related degrees and programs can help you develop into an ethical, well-trained pastoral or mental health counselor with the knowledge, values, and skills to help others make positive changes in their lives. You’ll get the training to further your current human services career, meet requirements for state licensure,* or enter the discipline for the first time.

With programs at the associate, bachelor’s, and master’s levels, you’re sure to find the one that meets your professional needs. Both licensure* and non-licensure tracks are available, and while the majority of degree options are available 100% online, some require on-campus intensives, giving you rich opportunities to network and connect with your professor and classmates on SFBC’s beautiful Deerfield Beach, Fl., campus.

Because SFBC is dedicated to Preparing Men & Women for Ministry, you’ll receive quality professional training as a mental health counselor from a faith-based perspective. Your counseling degree from SFBC will equip you to reach new professional heights and shape a better world by championing what matters to you. And that’s what matters to us.

*Please note: Each individual state has its own specific requirements for licensure. Please see your state’s professional counselor license board for more information.
