This means that as you create your own schedule, you will position yourself perfectly to maintain your work and personal commitments.

As a result, you’ll be uniquely equipped to help others boost their mental health and adjust to life changes.

From one of the most affordable institutions in the state, you will tap into the perspectives of faculty who are licensed as psychologists, marriage and family therapists and professional counselors.
