Doctor of Counseling Psychology

The Doctor of Counseling Psychology
equips students with advanced knowledge and practical skills
in counseling psychology, coaching, and spiritual direction.

Grounded in a theological perspective,
the program prepares competent professionals
to integrate theory and practice
in clinical, pastoral, and spiritual care settings.

Program Goal

  1. Students will research and develop a model that integrates counseling, coaching, and spiritual guidance through practical theology class to attempt integration, while taking into account 2,000 years of Christian history and tradition and clearly including biblical values and norms.
  2. By approaching people from an integrated perspective when dealing with people in the field, students are able to broadly understand humans and their problems and at the same time demonstrate integrated care skills. Learning and mastering the basic practices of counseling, spiritual guidance, and coaching together is like welcoming patients with the facilities and capabilities of a general hospital.
  3. Students utilize counseling and coaching skills in an integrated manner while also utilizing spiritual guidance that deals with their relationship with God. This not only allows them to approach human problems from the perspective of general psychology, but also to understand them in terms of their relationship with God, and to live as a faithful Christian seeking help from the living God.
  4. Students live as mature believers who know how to use spiritual guidance not only as a means to solve problems as care professionals, but also as a spiritual training tool for mature believers who solve problems in their own families and raising children from Gods perspective.
