APA Accredited Internship in Clinical and Counseling Psychology

Summer Consultation Rotation Requirement

          Interns will be expected to supplement their work at the Cook Counseling Center with consultation services during the summer months.  Opportunities for consultation may include, but are not limited to, work with the Women’s Center, the Psychological Services Center, the VT Athletic department, the Cranwell International Center, or the Multicultural Center.  The nature of the consultation may vary with the needs of the intern and the external organization.  For example, one intern may elect to provide clinical service (e.g., psychotherapy with student athletes, clinical supervision of psychology students at the PSC) while another may pursue academic or other scholarly endeavors (e.g., teaching a course, developing a training manual).  The intern is responsible for working with the training director to establish the terms of the consultation relationship.  A maximum of 10 hours per week is expected for this consultation experience.  A written summary of the intern’s training goals is expected prior to approval of the rotation. A written summary of the activities and experiences of the intern’s summer consultation is also due to the training director at the end of the training year.
