With our B.S. program in Health and Wellness Coaching (HAWC), our M.S. Program in Couple and Family Therapy, (accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Marriage and Family Therapy Education, COAMFTE), our innovative Doctor of Marriage and Family Therapy (DMFT), and our Ph.D. in Couple and Family Therapy (also accredited by the COAMFTE), our faculty focus on systemic and relational concepts as we train students to become leaders in the field. Graduate students have the opportunity to work in a live supervised, state of the art, on-site community clinic then pursue off-site experiences with our community partners. Our renowned faculty are active in the field of family therapy as researchers, authors, presenters, trainers, and work diligently to train students to work with individuals, couples, families, groups, organizations, and other systems.
