Elevate Your Spiritual Awareness

Don’t dance around the subject of spirituality – embrace it as an essential dimension of the human condition and the clients you serve. Understanding spiritual belief systems and diverse worldviews is a vital aspect of multicultural competency, and your experience at Â鶹´«Ã½ Fox will equip you to treat people from all walks of life with understanding, compassion and sensitivity.

“The spiritual training I obtained in this PsyD program at Â鶹´«Ã½ Fox set me up to do amazing work with my clients,” says Kameron Dill, director of pediatrics at Sundstrom Clinical Services. “I am so grateful that I chose a program that has the integration component to help me treat my clients from a broader worldview lens.”

How We Approach Spirituality

Learn from Caring Mentors

Be inspired by professors and practitioners who invest in your development as a psychologist. They’ll share what they’ve learned as practitioners, help you cultivate your interests and encourage you to explore new horizons. You’ll also be paired with a peer mentor, opening the door to thoughtful conversations and timely advice.

“I've received mentorship not only from my professors and the people in my classrooms, but also from my supervisors,” says Manesha Ram, a third-year student in the program. “I get academic and clinical mentorship, so I learn about theory on one hand and practice on the other. I have people supporting me in all of those things.”

Our Commitment to Mentorship

Find Strength in Community

Earn your PsyD in a diverse learning community that’s grounded in trust, mutual respect and a shared sense of purpose. You’ll build lasting relationships that energize your personal and professional life. Be accepted. Be nurtured. Lean on each other when the going gets tough. And celebrate accomplishments – together.

“The cohort model fosters stepping into a group of people and becoming family,” says Shaun Davis, who runs a private practice and serves as a mentor for our students. “My classmates became the support system. We encouraged each other. We helped de-stress each other. It was something so surprising to me, and I don't know that I could have done the program without it.”

Learn on the Leading Edge

Conduct groundbreaking studies and discover new ways to help patients lead healthy, fulfilling lives. Collaborate with your professors and peers as part of a research team and gain specialized knowledge in primary care, child and adolescent psychology, or assessment.

“At Â鶹´«Ã½ Fox, I’ve had the chance to work with peers and faculty on research projects,” says Melissa Flores, who elevated her understanding of holistic care by taking the primary care track. “It’s been a life-changing experience to pursue research topics I’m passionate about and have the opportunity to contribute to the field of psychology.”
