Counseling Marriage and Family Therapy - Indiana Wesleyan University

Counseling Marriage and Family Therapy from Indiana Wesleyan University is a Campus Master Counseling degree that prepares you for a Healthcare career. Indiana Wesleyan University seeks to develop the highest quality of professional competence in those entering the Marriage and Family Therapy practice. The 60 credit-hour Master of Arts with a major in Counseling and specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy is interpersonal in focus and holistic in approach, emphasizing family systems within each student's Christian worldview context. Evidence-based approaches in the field are given high priority in the curriculum. Students learn to engage with classic systemic models as well as more contemporary and postmodern approaches, benefit from our strongly interpersonal structure, and enjoy close interaction with faculty members. Marriage and family therapy becomes an intimate community, a source of shared faith, knowledge, and friendship. Through our state-of-the-art therapy and research center, MFT students are exposed to regular video recording and monitoring of their own and classmates' therapy sessions, supervision with video recordings, live supervision through two-way mirrors, and numerous research opportunities. Students are also exposed to a variety of learning environments through the classroom, practicum experience, and internship placements. We anticipate that our graduates will become leaders and public servants who thoughtfully address contemporary challenges such as troubled marriages, child concerns, single parenting, divorce, reconstituted families, and so forth. MFT students are trained to work with individual clients in a manner that is consistent with their own budding philosophy of marriage and family therapy. Emphasis is placed on each student grappling with his or her own understanding of why therapy is successful, i.e., what is one's own theory of change within the therapeutic context?
