Therapist here... questions about further education

You love to see it. Good luck and keep us posted! Kairos is the subject of a lot of interest here, but you are one of the first posters with first-hand experience as a student.

When it’s good, it’s good. As a Christian and seminary grad myself, I align with their values and their pricing system just can’t be beat. According to employees at the school other programs like the DPC are more straightforward with the courses needed but the DMin is designed to be laid back and kind of go at your own pace. Which again, I’m learning isn’t the optimal way for me but I’ll survive. 

Regarding OSU, how’s their reputation? I’ve realized in academics the school you go to matters quite a bit… I don’t want the snobs here in Los Angeles to look down on a degree from there when I apply to positions in the future after securing the DHA.

OSU is just an average state university. It won't have the reputation of UCLA or University of Texas, but it's also not Purdue Global or UMGC. For the private sector and non-tenure-track jobs, OSU is fine. For tenure-track jobs, academia is elitist, so people are mostly limited to TT positions in programs that are ranked below the one they graduated from.
