Eliza Dushku Graduates with a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling: ‘Feels Like a Deep Calling Realized’

Eliza Dushku graduated with her master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Lesley University in Cambridge, Mass., on June 6, 2025. The ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ alum once referred to her new career in psychedelic therapy as ‘her true calling.’

True growth, energy, and passion—manifested," she wrote in the caption of the post, which also featured a photo of her young kids’ handwritten notes, which read "Good Job Mommy" and "I Love You Mom." She concluded the emotional milestone post with a Latin phrase, "Non sibi sed toti 🤍," which translates to "not for themselves, but for all," in reference to her career change and future goals of helping patients through their trauma. Dushku, along with husband Palandjian, a former professional tennis player and Intercontinental Real Estate Corp. CEO, told BostonMagazine at the time that they are also funding research and clinical trials into the potential uses of psychedelics.
