Master of Arts in Marriage, Couples, and Family Therapy

at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology - Los Angeles Campus USA

The M.A. in Marriage, Couples, and Family Therapy program provides students seeking to become licensed marriage & family therapists in the state of California strong preparation in their development of diagnostic, therapeutic, and consultative skills from a systemic and relational context.

Students prepare to work with a variety of clinical populations, including:

• Individuals
• Couples
• Families
• Children
• Groups spanning the developmental spectrum
• Those with emotional, intellectual, and psychological conditions and disorders

Unlike many other forms of psychotherapy, marriage and family therapy has a primary focus on the inter-relationships between the self and others in the world, rather than only internal processes. Our M.A. in Marriage, Couples, and Family Therapy program exposes students to this systemic view and can even help them rethink their approach to classical theories from this more integrative perspective.

Students pursuing a Master’s Degree in Applied Behavior Analysis at our Los Angeles campus are trained to affect socially significant behavioral changes in individuals with autism, developmental disabilities, brain injury, or coping with mental and social issues as a result of aging. They assist a variety of individuals—from those in regular educational settings to those who wish to improve performance or master skills in a variety of areas.
