Pre-Doctoral Internship in Counseling and Clinical Psychology
Service Activities
Individual and Couples Therapy
Intern case loads average 15 hours per week in addition to 2.5 hours of triage. Therapy clients are usually seen for 50 minute appointments. More or less frequent meetings may be arranged depending on client need, however, most cases are considered short-term and many clients are seen on a biweekly basis. Interns are also encouraged to gain experience in long term psychotherapy and encouraged to carry a few long-term cases over the course of the academic or training year.
Interns co-lead a process therapy group and participate in two structured groups (e.g. learning skills) during the internship.
Interns provide outreach programs to the university community as requested and participate in summer new student orientation in the month of July and Resident Advisor orientation in August.
The Counseling Center provides consultation to faculty and administrators as well as to parents and peers. The senior staff engages in a variety of consultation projects with various campus departments, offices, and student groups. Interns work with senior staff on these various project areas. The Counseling Center, Student Health Services, and Residence Life Programs have a well established crisis on-call system. Interns participate in the after-hours on-call rotation with back-up from senior counseling staff.
