Our Legacy Continues
On May 1, 2019, the Los Angeles Education Center opened as an off-campus instructional site of Campbellsville University offering the Phillips Graduate Institute’s Master of Marriage and Family Therapy program. This continues the 50 year Phillips legacy dedicated to the training and preparation of students as marriage and family therapists as part of a visionary, expanding, and innovative university.

Surpassing Expectations
The Phillips Graduate Institute’s Master of Marriage and Family Therapy program has been training students to become competent and effective marriage and family therapists (MFT). As a proud extension of our main campus, we share a common mission to empower students to make a difference in the lives of others and to help them grow professionally and personally.

Dynamic Learning Environment
Our MFT program integrates theory and practice, preparing students with the academic knowledge, clinical competency, and professional development necessary to successfully practice as MFTs.
Phillips students have access to exceptional training opportunities. We offer a cutting-edge training facility that includes a one-way mirror to facilitate live supervision and clinical modeling by faculty who are licensed, practicing professionals. As a result, our students have a rich and dynamic learning environment. Our graduates are highly regarded for their professionalism in the mental health field.
The experience I’ve received at Phillips goes beyond just academics and centers around people. My professors, friends, and colleagues here have taught me so much… I’m super excited about the future, and where my new career will take me.
I found my tribe. My peers are people from all kinds of backgrounds. Many have had successful careers in other fields before choosing to come to Phillips. They have real life experience to draw upon in their new roles as psychotherapists.
This program really will change your life, if you let it … take the time and allow it to change you, and learn the lessons that will help you work with clients and be the therapist you’re meant to be.
Phillips makes you feel like you really matter. It’s a place dedicated to the study of relationships, so it feels right that the school itself feels really personal, like you’re not just another student, but an individual.
Let yourself be challenged by the program. Engage in conversations, engage with your classmates … take advantage of the Phillips experience, because it can and will change your life for the better, if you let it.
I cannot express with enough emphasis the amount of appreciation I feel for my experience at Phillips. Deciding to apply to the MFT program, by far, has been the best decision I have ever made, which also has the greatest implications for my life.
I had a good feeling about PGI, and that really proved to be true. The school doesn’t just teach you how to be a marriage and family therapist, but helps you grow into becoming a better human being, too.
