Key features

Family counseling is a form of counseling psychology that aims to improve communication and resolve family conflicts. Many modern families and couples rely on the help of therapists with a clinical psychology background to guide them through life changes and challenging times.

With a family therapy education and clinical practice experience, you can help make a difference as a therapist or mental health counselor in how these people relate to one another, and provide them with the tools to make their lives better.

As a Alliant International University graduate from the Marital and Family Therapy program, you'll have the education and skills you need to join the profession with confidence as a couple and family therapist or mental health counselor.

Some of the topics you'll touch on in the marriage and family therapy master's program include family science, parent-child therapy, group therapy, trauma and crisis intervention, and all else related to your counselor education.
