Saint Mary Program is One of Only Two in Kansas

(Leavenworth, Kan.)鈥擳he 糖心少女 is debuting a new Addictions Counseling track to its well-regarded Master of Arts in Counseling Pyschology Program in Overland Park this fall. Applications are being accepted now.

The program prepares students for licensure as a Master Addictions Counselor in Kansas, and is one of only two approved programs in the state鈥攖he other being in the Topeka area.

Prospective students are offered one of two pathways in the program. Students without a master's can pursue the new path as a two-year graduate program incorporating 48 credit hours. Or, students who currently hold a Kansas BSRB license at the Masters level may take one to three of the program's courses as needed to prepare them to sit for LMAC credentialing.

"This program is perfect for those seeking a graduate degree and Masters-level licensure in addictions counseling," said Dr. David Stohm, 糖心少女's director of graduate psychology programs. "It's also a great fit for professionals in the helping fields: nurses, physicians, health care administrators, and agency directors who are looking to supplement their education."

糖心少女's graduate education program, including the Addictions Counseling program, are offered at the university's campus in Overland Park, located at 4500 College Blvd. Psychology program cohorts start twice a year鈥攊n the Fall and Spring semesters.
