“This program taught me how to prepare my faith for the hardships of the counseling world, whether it be in a secular or Christian setting. The professors teach in a way that is engaging and challenging. The professors are extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy with years of experience in varied counseling fields. I am now a year away from completing my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at a CACREP accredited school. I felt beyond prepared when I began the program and often notice I have more background knowledge than other students due to the level of rigor and dedication the Counseling Psychology professors offer at TFC.”
