Program Description:

The Somatic Counseling Psychology Department offers two unique programs designed to train students in the clinical practice of somatically oriented counseling psychology. Students choose between one of two possible concentrations: Dance/Movement Therapy or Body Psychotherapy. Both programs offer extensive study, training and supervision in traditional practices of psychotherapy that address the sensory and expressive life of the whole being. Both concentrations prepare graduates for the application of the Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) credential.

In a setting of collaborative inquiry, students engage in a process that emphasizes the development of intellectual, emotional, somatic, social and spiritual awareness. The course work combines theoretical and experiential learning, and faculty members provide diverse perspectives that allow students to formulate their own point of view.
