Student Quote
"I interact and work with MD's, psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, and social workers very well. As I talk with other therapists (who have graduated in programs from California to Texas to the East Coast), I feel fortunate to have graduated from a program that prepared me so very well...I am ethically educated, gender sensitive, and have a weighted-down toolbox of therapeutic skills." - Chris, alumnus
