“My time in the Counseling & Psychology program at TFC was such a life-giving experience. The professors are intentional and attentive with all students which really makes a difference. The courses are relevant, and I felt very equipped to work in the field upon graduation. I now have the opportunity to work in social work with children in foster care. My courses prepared me for this field by giving me a strong grasp of counseling skills, an understanding of developmental life stages, and the effects of trauma on children/adolescents/adults. I am so thankful for the foundation the TFC Counseling & Psychology program provided me. 10/10 recommend!”
