Family Therapy    

The Family Therapy Program at UHCL offers the MA degree and provides academic coursework and clinical training and supervision that prepare graduate students for careers as creative, caring, and culturally sensitive family therapists.  The Family Therapy Program emphasizes the importance of the ‘self of the therapist’ and provides trainees opportunities to gain an awareness of and sensitivity to how gender, ethnicity, class, race, and other factors shape our worldview and influence how we approach psychotherapy with our clients. 

Accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education (COAMFTE) since 1983, the program is a 61 hour program that features courses in systems theory, psychotherapy practice, psychopathology, substance abuse, assessment, family research ethics, gender, a two semester practicum, and a one-two year internship placement in the greater community mental health areas.
