Overview

Southwestern College was a small private graduate institution located in Santa Fe, New Mexico, founded in 1981 and historically focused on transpersonal and contemplative approaches to counseling psychology, art therapy, and education. It became known within niche academic circles for integrating mindfulness, depth psychology, and holistic wellness practices into master's-level clinical training programs. The college attracted students seeking alternative, spiritually-informed approaches to mental health counseling rather than conventional academic prestige. It ceased operations in 2018 due to declining enrollment and financial difficulties.
