About Sentio University

The Sentio University 20-month Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy Program (MFT) is based in Los Angeles. It provides rigorous and intensive hybrid on-line and in-person training. The program is comprised of five major components: 1. Five semesters of online coursework in small classes with a maximum of sixteen students per class. 2. Five Intensive 4-day In-Person Residencies (one Residency at the beginning of each semester). 3. 400 hours of guaranteed clinical experience at our practicum site, Sentio Counseling Center, where students provide online counseling for diverse, low-income clients. 4. Intensive mentoring from clinical professionals who are currently working in the field. 5. Therapist career development course that prepares students to succeed post-licensure, and a Clinical Research Project based on student’s personal clinical outcome data from their work with clients. Sentio University offers an integrated and sequential learning experience that provides clinical skill development, personal growth, and professional development necessary for a successful career as a psychotherapist. Through academic coursework, students learn a broad range of evidence-based theories and models, analyze peer-review literature, and conduct empirical research on clinical data. Through Deliberate Practice skill rehearsal , students acquire clinical skills and develop their personal characteristics and professional identity. Through supervised clinical practice, students implement MFT principles along ethical and professional standards with diverse populations of clients. This degree program prepares students for employment in a wide range of settings, including private practice, community mental health, medical settings, and non-profit agencies. The program uses a cohort model, with a new cohort starting each Fall. Cohorts and classes are limited to sixteen students to maximize personal mentorship and feedback for each student.
