TRAIN FOR A CAREER IN COUNSELING
CSPP is proud to announce a new Master of Arts (MA) program in Clinical Counseling, offered at the San Francisco campus of Alliant International University. The program enrolled its first cohort in Fall 2011.
FOCUS: MENTAL WELLNESS, NOT ILLNESS
Professional counseling is a very vibrant field with excellent career growth opportunities. Unlike other mental health treatment approaches, counseling focuses on wellness and prevention rather than pathology.
CSPP’s counseling program integrates a strengths-based and resilience perspective
to foster critical consciousness and reflective thinking, developing practitioner
skills in diagnosis, treatment planning and psychological interventions with individuals
and groups.
EMPOWER CLIENTS THROUGH MULTICULTURAL COMPETENCE
The MA Clinical Counseling uses academic, experiential and research-based clinical practice approaches as well as direct community service learning in coursework and field placements.
