“La Salle not only provided me with a comprehensive academic education, but the support and encouragement to step out of my comfort zone and learn experientially in the counseling field through internship, volunteering, and collaboration throughout Philadelphia.”

— Adam Joshua Rifkin, M.A. ’16

“Being a graduate student in the Counseling and Marriage & Family Therapy Master’s Program at La Salle University was truly a remarkable and unforgettable experience. I felt that the faculty and staff truly cared about each students’ development and success and that was something I really appreciated. My classmates were very supportive of one another and we worked together in and outside of class to help each other learn and grow.”

— Alyssa Maida, M.A. ’20

“I look back very fondly on my time at La Salle. I always felt valued and cared for by every member of the staff and faculty I ever worked with. The spirit and values of this University became apparent when I attended an open house for the counseling program. After it was over, a student in the program spent an extra 45 minutes with me answering all my questions and sharing their experiences, and it set the tone for my next three years of study.”

— Fabiano Muner, M.A. ’14
