Preparing culturally competent relationship and family therapists and professional counselors to address the varied mental health needs of children, adults, and families.

The Master's in Counseling Psychology program with a concentration in Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) prepares students to be socially and culturally responsive relationship and family therapists and mental health counselors. At its core, the MFT’s clinical training program upholds values of equity, social justice, community and cultural wealth, and collaborative problem-solving. We are committed to embracing diversity, academic excellence, and to the compassionate service of children, adults, and families. The MFT program embodies this mission by:

• Expanding traditional notions of family
• Recognizing the diversity in relationships and identity
• Striving to use inclusive language in our instruction
• Creating goals to diversify our student body and teaching faculty
• Working from a strengths-based perspective that honors community wealth
• Adapting professional trends as needed to meet community needs
