Amongst the doctorates, you have saybrook (online), capella (online), alliant (diploma mill), nova (professional school that charges a billion dollars a year to attend), FIT (professional school that charges a billion dollars a year to attend).'
There is a social worker on the faculty at a doctoral level psych program. A social worker? Among the esteemed subprograms, they offer a certificate in pastoral counseling.
