When I decided get my
Master's degree, I searched for a program that was interested in building a
relationship with me while at the same time that I was learning how to be an
exceptional therapist. That is exactly what I found with Edgewood College's
Marriage and Family Therapy Program. I enjoyed the one-on-one attention
from the professors, the year-long internship, and the development of
clinical skills built on a foundation of systems thinking. Even though
I graduated four years ago, I continue to utilize the techniques I learned
from the program in my current position as an in-home family therapist.
Thank you Edgewood! - Julia Smith, MS LMFT |
