How will a degree in Counseling Psychology from USM prepare me for a career in counseling?
Both the Master’s and Doctoral degrees fulfill the educational requirements for licensing as a Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California. In addition to learning the theoretical and academic information needed to successfully pass the licensing examinations, USM’s students are uniquely trained to assist others in the facilitation of upward movement in consciousness. USM trainees, interns, and therapists have been prepared (through USM’s experiential approach to learning) to assist their clients from their first day of class and they will have spent three to five years honing and expanding their skills to achieve mastery. For these talented professionals, counseling is not a “job.” They are answering the calling of their hearts to be of assistance and service to others.
