Ecopsychology in Counseling Certificate

Our mission is to prepare license-eligible and employable counselors to effectively engage the pressing social and environmental issues of our time.




Lewis & Clark’s Ecopsychology in Counseling Certificate program provides an opportunity for practitioners and graduate students to enhance their training with an evidence-based, experiential, and socially progressive ecopsychology curriculum.

Program of Study

The ten-credit Certificate sequence provides:

• An introduction to ecopsychology and its basis in environmental philosophy, empirical research, and critical theory
• Applied training in wilderness/adventure therapy and ecotherapy
• An opportunity to explore advanced topics such as nature and child development, environmental justice, horticultural therapy, and ecopsychology writing
• An integrative and self-designed capstone project, such as a thesis or supervised practicum, that completes the certificate
