Systemic Therapy for a Just and Humane World

The Master of Arts in Couples & Family Therapy (MACFT) program focuses on systemic and relational therapy. The program prepares effective couples and family therapists who integrate faith or spirituality at the clients’ request. Under the guidance of state approved and American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) approved supervisors who are licensed clinicians, students are trained to assess, diagnose, consult, and treat relationships and individuals.

Graduates are prepared to clinically heal and empower diverse relationships and individuals across faith traditions and cultural locations.
