Counseling (LPCC) & LMFT Licensure:
Students interested in pursuing professional counseling licensure can complete our MA in Integrative Psychology first, and then continue seamlessly into our MS in Clinical Counseling program. Taken together, these two degrees fulfill licensure requirements in 48 out of 50 U.S. states, as well as Canada.

While the combined coursework and clinical hours are comparable to traditional counseling programs, we’ve intentionally structured them as separate degrees. This approach allows you to earn your initial MA faster, giving you an earlier credential, practical experience, and the flexibility to move forward into licensure at your own pace.

Addiction Counseling Licensure:
The MA in Integrative Psychology with an Addiction Counseling Concentration meets the requirements for licensure or certification in most US states. If you are interested in pursuing this license, please request our state by state report from your academic advisor.
