For this student who wants to research mood disorders and work in health education/advocacy, I’m not sure NP or PA would be feasible because the pre-reqs might not match with what a student needs to do for a Master in clinical psych or a PHD. So this student would have to decide, after sophomore year, whether they’re going the “want to prescribe” or “want to counsel” route?

Based on what you’ve shared, I’d think Honors at GMU would set her up better for her goals, with more opportunities for research and smaller classes meaning more contact with professors for letters of rec.
