Our Mission:

Our mission is to provide forward-thinking graduate-level education that supports practitioners in integrative and holistic mental health, making careers in mental health more accessible and practically valuable. We are committed to delivering high-quality, career-focused education that prepares students to meet the evolving needs of the communities they serve.

According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 159 million Americans live in an area with a shortage of therapists.

Mental Health Education is Broken:

Less than 1% of students searching for a Master’s Degree in Psychology enroll in one.

Only 27% of students who enroll in clinical counseling programs end up completing licensure.

Yet, psychology education fails to create a realistic pathway for most students.

It takes on average 9 years and $110,000 to become a licensed clinical counselor.

Weaving a Web of Human Nature

OUR PHILOSOPHY:

Integrative Psychology is based on the insight that no single modality can fully capture the complexity of human nature. On our trainings, you’ll learn how to think across modalities and weave them together to form a more complete picture of consciousness.
