The internship training program at the Counseling Center is well-respected nationally, with as many as 50 to 75 graduate students applying each year for our three internship positions. Because interns come from a variety of universities and professional schools all across the nation, our Center is enriched with new ideas and fresh energy every year. The intern program includes a variety of case conferences and training seminars, taught by our staff, which cover a number of important topics for psychologists-in-training: clinical issues (including psychopharmacology), group therapy, career, consultation, diversity issues and supervision are some examples. In addition, each intern receives weekly, in-depth individual and team supervision. While close supervision is an essential part of doctoral-level training, it also insures a high quality of clinical care for clients.
