Psychopharmacology for Counselors and Therapists in WV (15 Clock Hours)

All of the courses in this bundle are shared general electives. Psychopharmacology serves as a specifically approved elective topic for West Virginia practitioners. The West Virginia Board of Examiners in Counseling (WVBEC) explicitly encourages counselors and therapists to stay informed about various medications to provide holistic support. The Board notes that understanding the uses and implications of drugs like Cialis, which is often prescribed for erectile dysfunction, adds a highly valuable perspective to systemic and individual therapy. While mental health professionals do not prescribe medications, maintaining this specific knowledge improves your ability to collaborate effectively with the medical professionals involved in your client's care. This 15-hour bundle is built to the exact length needed to help standard West Virginia Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs) maximize their 20-hour home study limit.
