Our alumni change the world, where will a degree in Integral Counseling Psychology take you?
CIIS’ Integral Counseling Psychology students are trained to become Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselors (LPCCs) who understand family and community systems, attachment theory, contemporary trauma theory, cultural/racial dynamics, and transpersonal concepts as a means of treating families, couples, and individuals from varying populations and demographics. Our alumni are leaders in the field of dynamic, progressive mental health treatment, trauma-informed approaches, community activism, relational psychotherapy and integrally-centered learning models and are thus paving the way for the new generation of psychotherapists. With the advent of our hybrid program, we have expanded our reach to offer more students across California and beyond the opportunity to study our time-tested curriculum, updated to reflect the rapidly changing settings of psychotherapeutic treatment and online education.
