Practicum Training Program

Our practicum trainees are selected from The Counseling and Clinical Psychology Doctoral and Master level programs, in addition to the Master of Social Work Program. We embrace a practitioner-scholar model so that practicum students benefit from professional interaction, supervision, mentoring, and modeling from center staff. While clients' presenting issues may range from developmental concerns to more severe psychological problems, most of the therapeutic work is brief, due to the nature of university life. We are proud to offer a formal Case Management service and/or provide updated referral resources for clients needing more intensive treatment modalities.

All applicants will reqiure: Two references (name/ relationship to applicant / number/ email) from previous clinical supervisor(s) and/ or faculty who is familiar with the applicant’s clinical skills.
