Program Details
Serving in the armed forces brings about a very distinct set of challenges for a family. Frequent moves, substantial time apart, living on bases in tight quarters, not to mention combat fatigue and PTSD, can all lead military families into turmoil. As a mental health professional, you can learn how to help these families cope and overcome obstacles with an online PhDMFT, specializing in Military Family Therapy. You’ll gain focused skills to help veterans, active-duty personnel and their families on your path to becoming a highly-skilled therapist. As part of your doctoral studies at National University, you’ll complete a local internship and practicum. Coursework likely includes:
- Military Family Therapy: Clinical Applications
