When I was looking for
a master's degree program I was focused on finding one that emphasized the
development of clinical and therapeutic skills. I found such a program in
the Marriage and Family Therapy program at Edgewood College. It was there
that I learned a systemic approach to therapy and was able to build my
clinical skills. The small class sizes and personal interactions with
professors added to my positive experience. The skills that I developed
in the program allowed me to start my own private practice. I feel as though
I received an outstanding foundation from Edgewood College and would highly
recommend the Marriage and Family Therapy program at Edgewood College
to anyone that is interested in becoming a psychotherapist. - Brad D'Orazio, 2004, MS LMFT |
