confidence, and pass the NCMHCE on the first attempt.
he NBCC (National Board for Certified Counselors) National Clinical Mental Health Counseling Examination (NCMHCE) is designed for counselors who wish to specialize in clinical mental health counseling. The NCMHCE is required for licensure in many states and assesses knowledge and the ability to apply clinical problem-solving skills in simulated client scenarios.
The NCMHCE consists of 11 clinical mental health counseling case studies, of which one case study and some questions are unscored. Each case study will have a narrative split into three sections: initial intake summary and two counseling sessions, accompanied by 9–15 multiple-choice questions. You must make decisions in areas such as assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning. The test evaluates your ability to apply theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios. Candidates have a total test session of 4 hours and 15 minutes (225 minutes).
To be eligible to sit for the NCMHCE, candidates usually need a master's degree in counseling or a related field, along with clinical experience. The scoring is complex, with scores given for each decision made, and a total passing score must be achieved across all cases. The certification is valid for five years, and renewal requires continuing education.
