Counseling Psychology

Department Mission

The mission of the Department of Counseling Psychology is to prepare and to educate Bay Area practitioners to be psychological counselors and professionals in a myriad of human service careers. Reflecting and embodying the mission of Santa Clara University, the students in our department are trained and encouraged to bring the highest levels of competence, conscience, and compassion to their professional lives in the service of the community. The Department implements this mission by offering two Master of Arts degree programs in Counseling: The Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology – which fulfills the academic requirements for license eligibility as a California Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) and the Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) – and the Master of Arts in Counseling. Students in either track have the option of choosing a unique emphasis in one of three areas: Health Psychology, Latino Counseling, or Correctional Psychology.
