Antioch University Seattle offers an exceptional opportunity to pursue a clinical doctorate in psychology. This clinical doctoral program is the only one in the United States with an art therapy concentration, setting it apart from other graduate schools in psychology. The Psy.D. program emphasizes the theory and application of clinical psychology, which distinguishes this program from research Ph.D. psychology programs at other universities. Antioch is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Antioch's Art Therapy programs are approved by the American Art Therapy Association (AATA).

Concentrations are year-long training modules that combine doctoral-level theory and integration of that theory while seeing clients in Antioch's Community Counseling and Psychology Clinic. The concentrations that will be offered in the 2008-2009 academic year include:

  • Adult psychotherapy
  • Art therapy
  • Child and family systems
  • Forensic psychology

Core and elective courses based on your areas of interest round out your Psy.D. program. Plus, the clinical focus gives you an opportunity to choose an applications-oriented doctoral paper.

You have the flexibility to pursue your Psy.D. in clinical psychology full time or part time. Practical experience is integrated throughout the program. It takes four years of full-time, on-campus study, including two years of supervised practical experience by a licensed psychologist, to complete your Psy.D. coursework. You will then complete an internship, which takes one year if done full time or two years if done part time.
