We are writing to announce our new low residence Ph.D.
in Counselor Education and Supervision at Antioch University
Seattle. It is a unique doctoral study opportunity, designed to meet the
growing need for advanced counseling practitioners, counselor educators, and
supervisors. We are hosting an information session about
the low-residency Counselor Education and Supervision programs, and hoping
as director of your Clinical Mental Health Counseling program, you might
share this with qualified graduates interested in expanding their scope of
practice and qualified candidates for the field of counselor education and
supervision. The information session (via zoom) will occur on January
19th, from 6-8pm (click here for details).
The low residency
Ph.D. program in Counselor Education and Supervision (CES) is a
72-credit doctoral degree program
designed for counselors who wish to enhance their professional competencies in research and evaluation,
supervision, teaching, leadership/advocacy, and counseling. Based on the
current Counselor Education and Supervision program at Antioch University Seattle, this degree is designed to
prepare doctoral students for advanced competency in, a) graduate level
teaching and counselor training, b) research and contributing new knowledge to
the field, c) multicultural counseling supervision, d) leadership, advocacy,
and civil discourse, and e) multicultural sensitive counseling practice.
Developed with the working professional in mind, the Ph.D. in CES
is delivered as a unique low residence cohort model. In addition
to the online course work, students will attend two five-day residencies
(winter and summer quarters) per academic year (locations to be determined).
The residential experiences will provide opportunities for intensified
face-to-face training and supervision, community enrichment, and a seminar
format for rich discourse and meaning making. This collective experience
is consistent with an infused emphasis on multicultural discourse, resilience,
civil enrichment, and social justice. It is our hope that interested
counselors will be able to join us on January 19th to
discuss the low residence Ph.D. program in CES.
Additional details about the program as well as application
requirements can be found at the program website (CLICK HERE).
As you know, implementing a counselor
training program to meet the dynamic and ever-changing mental health
challenges of our communities is both daunting and essential in our work as
counselor educators and supervisors. This is never more true than today.
With this in mind, we seek to provide a curricular experience that not only
meets accreditation standards (CACREP Self Study submitted with site visit
scheduled for 2021), but also leadership training experiences to meet these
challenges. As colleagues in training the next generation of
counseling professionals, we hope you will reach out if you have any
questions.
Best wishes,
