MSPP - Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology

The Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology trains mental health professionals to deliver care to diverse communities and equips other professionals with psychological skills to enhance their work. MSPP is evolving into a "college of psychology" with a learning environment of experienced faculty and courses of instruction that allow students to specialize in such areas of need as Clinical Psychology, School Psychology, Forensic Psychology, Counseling Psychology, Organizational Psychology and Executive Coaching. These training programs equip professionals to work as consultants and clinicians in schools, courts, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, detox and recovery programs, community mental health centers, business and private practice with children, adults and families. This faculty and the student body support each other by sharing research findings, clinical experience and insight from their specialty areas of mental health. The Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology is approved for training by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, the American Psychological Association, and the National Association of School Psychologists. Fieldwork in more than 250 hospitals, clinics, schools, businesses and non-profit organizations provides a rare opportunity to educate our students while enhancing the mental health services and psychological sophistication of our partner organizations. Whether this effort is at the level of coaching senior executives, assessing student needs in schools, working in the courts, helping medical patients to cope more effectively with an illness or helping adults to understand themselves better, MSPP's integrative model of instruction provides a value-based education that trains professionals who are able to "Meet the Need and Make a Difference."
