The Counseling Psychology program's mission is to train counseling psychology leaders who will transform local, national, and international communities by reducing social inequities through scholarship, practice, and advocacy. Rooted in a scientist-practitioner model, students develop these competencies within a culturally diverse learning community supported by strong, individualized mentorship with faculty. The program aims to prepare counseling psychologists to work in academic and applied settings (a) to think critically and to apply scientific-based practices, (b) to promote social justice, (c) who are ethical and culturally competent, and (d) to consistently strive for deeper self-awareness, and (e) to be mindful of personal power and privilege.<br><br>The Counseling Psychology training program is strongly committed to providing an environment that promotes, affirms, and supports cultural and individual diversity among students, faculty and staff. A systematic as well as coherent and long-term program has been in effect to attract and retain students and faculty of diverse backgrounds, to integrate multicultural and cross-cultural training across the curriculum, and to provide on-going training that reflects this commitment. The Coalition for Cultural Competence bolsters our multicultural and cross-cultural training.
