The MA Counseling Psychology degree program at Golden Gate University equips students to practice relationally informed psychotherapy and to pursue licensure as a MFT or LPCC in the state of California and in many other states. Our program believes that psychotherapy must acknowledge the complexity of the individual and the uniqueness of individual suffering, rather than the identification and resolution of discrete symptoms. Psychotherapy is envisioned as a complex process of individual growth and change, and the psychotherapeutic relationship is seen as a key element in successful treatment. We aim to train students to push back against models of care that focus on the discrete resolution of symptoms and neglect the role of human connection and understanding in the resolution of individual suffering.
