One of the great benefits of the Clinical Mental Health program is that I can see my progression through many lenses: Maslow, Glasser, Jung, Adler at the top of my list along with the tools from DBT, CBT, Mindfulness, IFS, typology, systems theory, and TA. Thank you again for all you have done, what you bring to the classroom, administration, and profession.
