Lewis & Clark educates counselors and therapists who go on to make their profession better and more responsive, from the inside out. Our programs are defined by small class sizes, an emphasis on making every voice heard, and a reputation for establishing deep connections.  Read our full mission and objectives here. 

We provide future counselors and therapists with innovative programs of study that offer the knowledge and skills critical to the practice of community mental health; addictions treatment; marriage, couple and family therapy; and school psychology. As a student, you'll learn to foster effective helping relationships and to create a wide range of interventions suitable for individuals, families, groups, and communities. Students can pursue specific interests through individualized study, special community placements, and internship opportunities available in over 150 community agencies and schools. Our graduates have a high rate of acceptance to doctoral programs throughout the country.

Through the Core program, degree-seeking students also pursue cross-disciplinary studies with students and faculty from other programs at the graduate school.
