Mission Statement:
Academically Excellent, Distinctively Christian
Vision Statement:
Training mental health professionals to provide healing and restoration
to members of the local and world community through the application of
biblical principles and professional excellence.
Philosophy:
The Regent University School of Psychology &
Counseling endeavors to provide leadership in integration of sound
clinical procedure and biblically based values in program development
and health service provision with a focus on family, church and community.
Our efforts stem from two central scriptures, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with
all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest
commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself," (Matthew
22:37-39); and "... Love each other as I have loved you," (John 15:12).
The methods and purposes of counseling and psychology are always to be
held against these biblical standards.
Distinctives:
The School of Psychology & Counseling prepares counselors and clinical
psychologists from a Christian worldview, while striving to adhere to
the highest standards of the profession, meeting accreditation, certification
and licensure standards.
These programs are designed for individuals to take their knowledge
into every corner of the world in order to assist people in the prevention
and resolution of the problems of human living. A strong emphasis is
placed on the restoration of relationships: individual to God, individual
to individual and restoration within the family, the church and the community.
It is our goal that individuals who graduate from the School of Psychology
& Counseling will be exemplary counselors and clinical psychologists
who will reflect the character of Christ within their professional involvements. |
