Internships

Master’s Practicum / Internship

For outpatient psychotherapy and intensive groups practica, the program typically takes master’s or doctoral students from counseling, Couples & Family Therapy, psychology, early childhood (infant mental health), social work, or child-focused degree programs. The placement requires at least 20-hours and at least two evenings per week. In our experience, the educational quality of a practicum is negatively correlated with a student’s concurrent credit load, and students are encouraged to begin practicum only after completing the majority of their degree requirements. Prerequisite coursework includes ethics, counseling theories, and psychopathology. Although the clinic serves clients throughout the lifespan, practicum students are able to focus on the client population that best suits their learning goals.
