Emphasis: Trauma, Grief, and Crisis

The Trauma, Grief, and Crisis specialization prepares students with more clinical depth in the capacity to counsel individuals through trauma, complicated bereavement, and crisis. Students will study transpersonal and psychodynamic interventions specifically focused on the treatment of childhood trauma, sexual abuse, developmental wounds, and attachment disorders. This emphasis area includes a strong focus on the theory and application of IFS (Internal Family Systems) Therapy, a powerful, evidence-based trauma-focused intervention.
