The Chatham PsyD is distinctive for its focus on promoting healthy and sustainable communities, informed by the science of psychology. A hallmark of the Chatham PsyD program is its recognition of the complex relationship between the well-being of individuals and the diverse environments touching their lives – families, schools, workplaces, communities, the natural world, and even national and global conditions.

Chatham’s PsyD is also designed to help students attain leadership roles in the profession and to access greater employment opportunities in more diverse settings. The PsyD is a professional doctorate that prepares students for practice as counseling psychologists.

Graduates of the program are eligible for licensure as psychologists.

Promoting healthy environments at all levels will become a critical tool of the 21st-century psychologist.
