dynamic coursework integrates the fundamentals of psychotherapy with cultural humility and
an understanding of the impact of trauma and social systems on individuals, couples, families,
and communities. The program's flexible weekend format allows working individuals to
maximize educational outcomes and maintain a healthy work/life balance. Graduates are
prepared to practice counseling in hospitals, clinics, schools, government agencies, community
non-profits, and more. Through ongoing work in community settings, CIIS faculty help to ensure
