What Do Our Graduates Say?
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.
