Northwestern University’s nationally-renowned Master of Arts in Counseling Program, dedicated to the cutting edge preparation of tomorrow’s counselors, stands on four pillars of excellence.

Dynamic clinical training environment of The Family Institute at Northwestern University – Rising above the traditional academic boundary is The Family Institute where education, clinical services and research are fused. Our students train alongside seasoned practitioners who are leading the way in conducting psychotherapy, setting the standard for innovative research, teaching and service in the field. In the practicum year, students train in the Family Institute’s Bette D. Harris Clinic which provides the highest quality mental health services to those who are suffering, regardless of their ability to pay. The clinic reaches out to help underserved populations, including racial ethnic minorities and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals. Students are immersed in the process of conducting psychotherapy while learning about new breakthroughs in treatment. Traditional counseling foundation – Influenced by the theoretical and intellectual traditions of the counseling field, our students are prepared to protect the mental health and welfare of those who use counseling services. Students complete the necessary education and supervised clinical experiences required by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). We conceptualize every course in the context of ethics, multiculturalism, lifespan development, advocacy and outreach, and evidenced-based practice. These traditions lead to the development of a strong counselor identity and prepare the student to achieve licensure in the field. The program’s historical perspective – Our program has historical roots in counseling psychology and is dedicated to training and mentoring the mental health innovators and leaders of tomorrow. Students explore the depth and complexities of the psychoanalytic perspective and its emphasis on the centrality of the therapeutic relationship and the importance of therapist self reflection. Simultaneously, students delve into research and scholarly projects that relate the program’s rich history to current best practices in the field. They become informed consumers who not only understand the research base of the profession, but help expand it with new initiatives. Students readily exchange their clinical ideas with the counseling field through conference presentations and academic publications. We take pride in our reflective practitioners who have an aptitude to generate future research that will advance the field of counseling.

Program Foundation

Our master’s program is infused with psychodynamic theory to a degree that is typically found only at the doctoral level. Each quarter, course activities and academic experiences are designed to complement one another to allow the theory to emerge across subjects. Each quarter builds on the one before, adding new psychodynamic dimensions to the student’s toolbox. Our cutting edge faculty is comprised of leading practitioners in their area of academic expertise. Each faculty member uses real case examples to illustrate the clinical application of psychodynamic theory to her/his academic subject. Additionally, our clinical supervisors, Preceptors, case conference facilitators, and Tavistock Conference staff help the students test the theory they have learned in the clinical realm. By the program’s conclusion, the students not only understand the psychodynamic underpinnings of each core curricular area and academic experience but they can skillfully apply it to clinical work.

Program Cornerstones

Upon the program’s psychodynamic foundation are two cornerstone experiences that facilitate counselor development.
