Make Your Mark on the Future of Counseling
At Saybrook, we believe that counseling faculty should be committed to preparing you to become a competent mental health professional who inspires transformational change in individuals, families, and communities toward a just, humane, and sustainable world.
In the Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision program, you will enhance your knowledge of how to support the development of master's-level counseling practitioners. You will learn to actively support counselors in training as they:
- Integrate their “self” as a therapist
- Develop their professional identity as counselor
- Sharpen their ethical decision-making
- Understand how to serve diverse clients and the community
Additionally, you will examine the role of privilege, marginalization, and how aspects of power impact individual, familial, group, and community experiences.
Saybrook’s online Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision program is accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). This accreditation assures that the content and quality of our program have been evaluated and meet standards set by the profession. Graduates of CACREP-accredited online counseling programs are prepared with the skills and knowledge to work competently in the field of counselor education and supervision.
