The CMWC program bridges the gap between mental-health education and coaching practice. It’s designed and taught by licensed clinical professionals with real-world experience. Unlike many coaching certifications, this program emphasizes clinical insight, holistic approaches, and business readiness—preparing graduates to operate independently with confidence.

Students learn how to provide both individual and group coaching focused on emotional regulation, stress management, life transitions, and wellness planning. The curriculum blends coaching principles, emotional-intelligence development, cultural awareness, and trauma-informed wellness practices—emphasizing ethics, professional boundaries, and practical application.

This program is ideal for people that are passionate about helping others improve their mental and emotional well-being. It’s suited for anyone looking to enter the mental-wellness field with a structured, evidence-based foundation.

The Certified Mental Wellness Consultant Program is a professional training offered through EJ Behavioral Health Institute.

Graduates are certified by EJ Behavioral Health Institute and prepared to launch their own independent mental-wellness practice or work in partnership with EJ Behavioral Health.

During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss your goals, challenges, and preferences. If you need a licensed mental-health diagnosis and treatment, counseling is recommended. If you want accountability, goal-setting, and mindset work, coaching may be the best fit—or we may integrate both.

Absolutely. Many clients benefit from a combination approach—using counseling to heal and coaching to grow. At EJ Behavioral Health Institute, both options are available to meet you where you are.

Individuals who are generally functioning well but want to improve self-awareness, mindset, or performance in areas like career, relationships, or overall life satisfaction.

Those struggling with emotional distress, mental-health symptoms, trauma, or relationship difficulties who want therapeutic guidance from a licensed clinician.

  • Counseling looks backward and inward—it helps you process, heal, and recover.
    • Coaching looks forward and outward—it helps you grow, set goals, and create change.

Mental Wellness Coaching focuses on personal growth, mindset, and overall well-being rather than clinical treatment. Coaching supports individuals who want to enhance their emotional balance, improve motivation, set boundaries, achieve goals, or develop healthy habits. It’s future-focused and emphasizes progress, not diagnosis.

 Counseling is a professional mental-health service provided by a licensed therapist. It focuses on identifying, understanding, and treating emotional, behavioral, or psychological challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship conflict. Counseling helps clients heal from the past and develop coping strategies for long-term emotional well-being.
