Graduates from University of Northern Colorado’s Clinical Counseling: Couples and Family Therapy Program are qualified to accept a variety of counseling positions. Our alums work in community mental health centers, psychiatric hospitals, health care facilities, and residential treatment centers. Alums have also established thriving private practices.
Our graduates usually achieve the credential of Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) or Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) through the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) in Colorado, or the licensing agency in the states in which they reside.
