Family Counseling

Program Summary

Family Counseling is a school of psychology which seeks to reduce the stress levels and levels of conflict within families by altering and improving the systems of interaction between the family members.

Unlike in individual counseling, the focus is on the dynamics between people, instead of identifying problems within individuals.

Why Choose A Master’s in Family Counseling?

Marriage and Family Therapy is a specialized field, which requires individuals who have more than just a general background in undergraduate psychology.

Pursuing a graduate degree allows students to delve into complex topics such as addiction and sex therapy.

Most Master’s programs also have internship and fieldwork requirements that get students hundreds of hours of professional experience before they are even on the job market.

These allow students to professionalize their in-class learning and to network with local businesses that could employ them full-time after graduation.
