Raising children can be extremely challenging in today’s society, filled with social media, peer pressure and bullying across all school levels. On top of that, divorce can add a whole other element of stress to their lives. You can help children and their parents navigate through difficult times with an online MA in MFT, with a specialization in Child & Adolescent Family Therapy. At NU, students explore a family-based, systems approach to therapy that can be used in a myriad of clinical settings.
