MA/MS in Student Counseling and Personnel Services

The Master of Arts in Marriage, Couple, and Family Therapy at Lewis & Clark Graduate School prepares students for work as licensed couple and family counselors in clinical and agency settings. The curriculum teaches active, strengths-based methods that let individuals, couples and families strengthen their bonds and find solutions to mental health and relational difficulties. A social justice perspective distinguishes the program's approach to family therapy. Full-time students typically finish in three years, while part-time students take four. Graduates meet the academic requirements for licensure as marriage and family therapists and for clinical standing with the AAMFT professional association. The program is offered through Lewis & Clark Graduate School in Portland, Oregon, and students should consult the school's pages for current admission and cost details.
