Dominican University of California

Located just 12 miles north of San Francisco, Dominican University of California is an independent, international, learner-centered university of Catholic heritage. With students and faculty from a wide range of cultural and religious backgrounds, Dominican embraces diversity and a global perspective. Small classes and personal attention by dedicated faculty are the hallmarks of a Dominican education.

Department of Counseling Psychology

The Department of Counseling Psychology offers two competency/outcome-based programs of academic and professional training. The Department of Counseling Psychology requires that all students have a minimum of 45 hours of personal individual, couple or family psychotherapy. This requirement is based on the belief in the value that students will gain by personally experiencing the process they are being trained to provide for others. Students meet this requirement by working with one or more licensed psychotherapists to receive a total of 45 hours of individual, group, couple or family psychotherapy. Up to 15 of these hours may have been done within two years before entering the program.

As a result of coursework and supervised fieldwork placements, students will develop competence in:

  • Assessment of children, adolescents, adults, seniors, couples and families
  • Psychodiagnosis and treatment planning
  • Counseling skills involving children, adolescents, adults and seniors using alternative; behavioral and cognitive behavioral; brief and strategic; client-centered; crisis intervention; group and psychodynamic techniques
  • Consultation techniques
  • Research in human systems and treatment outcome
  • Cross-cultural mores and values
  • Professional ethics and law
  • Human communication
  • Human biological, psychological and social development
  • Theories of personality
  • Alcohol and substance abuse
  • Child/spousal/partner abuse assessment and reporting
