Saybrook’s MA/MFT-PCC prepares you for multiple licenses and empowers you to shape and craft your professional practice.

A career-focused, clinical program with practicum training, Saybrook’s MA/MFT-PCC program focuses on career opportunities while remaining true to the humanistic principles of psychology that make Saybrook a recognized global leader.  Whatever you do with your degree, Saybrook helps you help clients develop as individuals to discover their life’s path.  

When you graduate from Saybrook’s three-year program, you will have pre-degree coursework and practicum experience to apply for licensure as:

• MFT (Marriage and Family Therapist)
• LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor)
• LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor)
• LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor)

As different states have different licensing requirements, we work with you from the very beginning of your degree to help you qualify for the license that works for you in the state where you want to practice.

The MA/MFT-PCC degree provides a low-residency model of distance learning, where you join a cohort of fellow students studying together on-line and meet at the beginning of each semester for residential conferences. You can complete your degree without relocating and without leaving your current career.
