Viewing research and practice as interdependent and mutually supportive, Webster University's MA in Psychology with an emphasis in Counseling Psychology program is based on the scientist-practitioner training model. The program aims at educating future psychologists who have sound knowledge of the theory and practice of counseling psychology, who are competent consumers and creative producers of social science research, who are competent in counseling practice, and who are ethical and sensitive to the cultures, values and worlds of various clients.
