This is what I wanted to do with my life.
And when I came to Canada that was my goal,
that is what I wanted to do because I want
to help people, that is my ultimate goal in
life and currently, I am doing it in the best
possible way because of this program and I
am a qualified, registered psychotherapist
I have done that and I'm having, I have a
great job and it has given me so much that
I am completely satisfied with making this
decision with the MACP program.
I think this program paved the way to success
for myself.
Because knowledge and learning and experience
is a never-ending journey, it doesn't end
with our graduation.
It has to be an ongoing search for learning,
for experience, for growth, for being better
versions of ourselves on a personal level
and being better counsellors on a professional
level.
Our alumni community is making us proud every
day in how they are advancing the profession
of counselling and psychotherapy.
Yorkville University's Master of Arts in Counselling
and Psychology program for those of you who
don't know is the cornerstone program at Yorkville
University.
It is, in fact, the program that created Yorkville's
reputation for high quality, rigorous, flexible
programs available to people who might not
otherwise be able to attend university.
The program prepares its graduates for entry-level
counselling and psychotherapy careers.
It has national recognition by every college
as well as associations.
The other thing I think it provides is a large
number of highly qualified instructors all
with Ph.D. credentials both from the US and
Canada.
All with a lot of clinical experience as well
as academic experience.
Students have the opportunity to have clinical
practice opportunities in various locations
in various cities and it's been a pleasure
interacting with them over the years and seeing
how they do, both in rural and in urban locations.
So I think the strength it offers is that
it allows students to do a counsellor education
to become qualified as counsellors and at
the same time, obviously, continue their lives
and not take a large chunk out of their life
and relocate somewhere.
They can continue doing things and non the
less at the end of the process come out with
a really solid credential.
