Pacifica Graduate Institute's M.A. in Counseling Psychology offers students a strong grounding in the theories and historical foundations of counseling and depth psychology, as well as comprehensive training in clinical skills. Interdisciplinary courses in literature, mythology, religion, and culture deepen students' ability to hear collective archetypal and cultural themes as they are expressed in individual lives. Research studies prepare students to explore and contribute to the tradition of scholarship within depth psychology through their Master’s thesis.

Students in the M.A. Counseling Psychology Program are required to pursue two years of coursework in each of the three following areas:

• Humanities and Depth Traditions
• Theory/Praxis
• Marriage, Family and Child Counseling
