Mission and Objectives

Mission and Objectives - Department of Counseling Psychology

 

 The faculty and staff of the Department of Counseling Psychology strive to graduate highly competent community and mental health counselors; marriage, couple and family therapists; and school psychologists who are dedicated to making a difference in the world.  We value practice that is informed by theory and evidence, rigorous scholarship, multiple perspectives, social responsibility, self-awareness, and practical skills.

We believe personal development is closely related to professional effectiveness.  Therefore, we expect faculty and students to reflect deeply on our own emotional, psychological, relational, and cultural patterns, assumptions, and biases - continually raising our social awareness.

We believe there are many ways to look at the world, and we value a convergence of theoretical perspectives including systemic, critical, social constructionist, developmental, ecological, and contextual approaches to working with individuals, families, and communities.

We believe it is essential to challenge systems of power and privilege as they relate to the quality of life and the well-being of all persons. This entails confronting systems of oppression that create and maintain emotional, psychological, physical, and relational suffering.

Finally, we are dedicated to supporting social and relational equity, cultural and economic democracy, and good citizenship within our programs, the broader community, and the world.
