The mission of this program is to train Masters level psychotherapists for work in a variety of clinical settings including hospitals, schools, community colleges, public agencies, and private practice. The diversity of settings and populations in which our graduates work requires that our students be flexible and open to differing clinical and cultural perspectives. We value diversity in thinking and encourage our students to sample ideas from many different points of view. While we do not require conformity to any one approach, we do require that whatever approach our students take be supported by a high standard of professional ethics and an established body of professional literature, including empirical and clinical research. Graduates of this program demonstrate a basic familiarity with the major approaches to assessment, diagnosis and treatment, a respect for cultural diversity, and accountability for service delivery.
