Series Concept

Counseling Center Managers plan, manage, and direct the activities of a Campus Counseling Center, typically supervising five or more full-time professional employees in addition to related clerical support staff and perform other related duties as required.

Incumbents typically develop policies and procedures for the Counseling Center; plan, organize, and administer programs for the successful delivery of such psychological services as individual counseling, group counseling, peer training, practical training, outreach programs, consulting and walk-in services; establish and maintain working relationships with other departments and outside agencies as necessary; recruit, train, assign, and evaluate the performance of professional and clerical staff; direct training programs for graduate students assigned to the Center for supervised field work; establish and maintain standards for professional work; conduct and/or supervise research performed by staff members or by graduate students in psychology or an allied field; plan and administer the budget for the Center; participate in local, state, and national associations; and represent the Counseling Center at public and professional meetings.

The Counseling Center Manager series consists of two management levels with the distinction between levels based on the scope and complexity of the Counseling Center's program, and the degree of supervision exercised.
