Our Teaching Methods

Discover our innovative teaching methods that are transforming the way students learn Psychology.

Inverting Conventional Education

Psychology education is long overdue for an upgrade. Only 1% of students searching for degrees end up enrolling, and only 27% of students who enroll in a Clinical Counseling degree end up completing licensure. Why?

Conventional psychology education tries to fit students into models created decades ago, which are rich in theory but difficult to apply.

We invert that process, encouraging students to start working with clients sooner.  When you lead with practice, learning becomes experiential and theory has a place to land.

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

Stats:

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

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

Core Tenants of Of Learning

Embodied Learning

Learning is deeply relational. Our classrooms are living, breathing entities that bring life, passion, and experience. Wherever possible, our classes are competency-based, so students demonstrate skills, not memorization.

Hyper-Practical

If something isn’t helping you become a better professional, we don’t teach it. We reduce unnecessary coursework so we can focus on the things that will make you a more skilled practitioner. All instructors are in private practice, not purely academics.

Structure, Then Intuition

We give our students clear session structures in the beginning to use with clients, and encourage them to develop their intuition over time. This helps students get started practicing quickly in safe & comfortable settings, while developing habits of lifelong learning.

Sincere, Not Serious

Therapy can feel heavy sometimes and the key to a long career is enjoying the process. We encourage students to approach their work with deep sincerity and integrity, but also with passion and play.
