Angie Dahl, M.S.
Ph.D. Candidate
Utah State University
 Psychology Pre-doctoral Intern

I am a pre-doctoral intern completing my PhD from Utah State University’s Combined Clinical, School and Counseling Program. During my training, I have worked with child, adolescent and young adult populations in a variety of settings, including public schools, counseling centers, a student health center and community clinic.  I enjoy working with students in individual and group therapy as well as outreach and consultation. My clinical interests are broad and include working with LGBTQ issues, identity related concerns, anxiety, diversity, and students with attentional / learning disabilities. My therapeutic style is largely influenced by constructivist, humanistic and cognitive behavioral theories. My current research focuses on LGBTQ adolescent and young adult sexual and religious identity development. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, shopping, and exploring the outdoors.

Dan Isenberg,  M.Ed.
Ph.D. Candidate
Lehigh University
 Psychology Pre-doctoral Intern

Dan is finishing his Ph.D. in counseling psychology from Lehigh University, where he earned his Masters of Education in Counseling & Human Services. Dan has completed several courses in the area of diversity and multiculturalism, and worked on research projects investigating multicultural supervision, Jewish identity, and been involved in disaster relief projects with post-Katrina Gulf Coast residents. Dan is also interested in psychotherapy training and is presently working on his dissertation in this area. Dan enjoys working with the college population because the college years represent a significant period of change and growth for students. He has worked with students on issues including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, academic and peak performance concerns, vocational concerns, obsessive-compulsive disorder, perfectionism, anger management, drug & alcohol issues, challenges as a minority student, sexual orientation, personal identity concerns, and others.

Zetta Nicely,  M.A.
Psy.D. Candidate
Radford University
 Psychology Pre-doctoral Intern

Zetta is a student in the Counseling Psychology Psy. D. program at Radford University. Her clinical interests include women’s issues, gender and identity development, trauma and post-traumatic growth, resiliency, first-generation college students, and adolescents. Zetta’s therapeutic style is strongly influenced by interpersonal, feminist, and existential themes. Her undergraduate experience at Berea College fueled her passion for Appalachian issues, particularly social and environmental justice, cultural dignity and traditional wisdom. Zetta cooks, gardens, explores nature, and invents crafty projects every chance she gets.  She is slowly learning to sew and plans to begin learning to play banjo while on internship.
