When MaiLinh Hartz, a master’s student in the Couple and Family Therapy program, was younger, people often said she had an old soul. “I was very introspective and had time to listen and absorb people’s stories and emotions,” she explains.

As a student, she is expanding what it means to take care of others—not just as a therapist, but as a peer.
