Personal Counseling: All students are expected to receive psychotherapy during their program. Personal therapy is a prerequisite for practicum.
Personal therapy with a gifted clinician serves two purposes. First, it assists student therapists in working through problem areas in their own lives
that may adversely affect clients and students’ participation in an emotionally challenging training program. Second, it is a unique training
experience, helping students understand the process of exploring the depth and interrelationship of systemic and intrapsychic features of human
life.

Note: Students who do not complete the thesis requirement within the five years allowed to cmplete this degree,but have completed all other course
work, may receive a certificate of advanced professional studies in ministry. Students who elect the certificate option will only be eligible for
licensure if they have earned a prior MA degree that meets state licensure requirements for an MA in counseling.

Credit may not be conferred for any CTS D.Min. course work that exceeds the 10 year limit established by ATS.
