Psychology & Counseling

When life gives you lemons . . . you might need a second opinion! Life can throw a lot at us. When it gets to be too much, we turn to the field of Psychology & Counseling for professional support and guidance.

What makes us act the way we do? What events from our past drive our core emotions in our present? How do we live in balanced relationship with ourselves and others? Psychology & Counseling is a field that gets to the bottom of these questions. Psychology tends to focus on qualitative research of brains, behavior, and pathologies. Counseling, on the other hand, zooms in on the one-on-one therapy experience.

Make no mistake, Psychology & Counseling saves lives—it is a helping profession to its core. And the field entails more than just being a good listener. This pathway can lead you to whatever setting fits you best—from a private counseling practice to a clinical research lab in a hospital.
