The Hiebert Institute
Rock Island, Illinois
Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.)
Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.)
The Hiebert Institute of Marriage and Family Counseling Service is located in Rock Island, Illinois, and is the oldest marriage and family therapy training program in Illinois and Iowa. The Hiebert Institute established a P.R.I.M.E. relationship with the Graduate Theological Foundation (GTF) in 2003 to teach marriage and family theory and practice.
The Hiebert Institute offers both the D.Min. and the Psy.D. degrees through the Foundation. The D.Min. offers a concentration in marriage and family studies covering both theory and the history of marriage and family therapy as well as specific topics such as self-esteem and divorce. The Psy.D. in marriage and family therapy gives the students both a theoretical background and skill-based practice. In addition to special topics such as communication and premarital counseling, students will explore the work of master family therapists and cuttingedge theory in advanced family therapy courses. The Psy.D. course of study prepares the student to pass the national marriage and family therapy licensing examination and includes a practicum component. The Hiebert Institute is housed within Marriage and Family Counseling Service, a community-sponsored resource for counseling and education in marriage and family life. Full-time faculty include the Rev. William J. Hiebert and Dr. Derek A. Ball, both licensed family therapists and Approved Supervisors in the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. Located midway between Des Moines and Chicago on Interstate 80 on the Mississippi River, the agency serves a bi-state community of 400,000.
