The Selection Committee will meet the second week of December to determine interviewees. Applicants will be emailed shortly thereafter to schedule video conferencing interviews, most likely via a Zoom link. Interviews will be conducted in early January. On-site interviews are no longer offered at this site in order to provide the most fairness for candidates in the match process from a social justice lens. All interview candidates are asked a standard set of questions. Time is provided for the applicant to ask questions and interact with staff and current intern cohort.
The internship is an organized health service training program that provides supervised experiences in all Counseling Center services and functions. As the only counseling center internship in the nation offered at a university primarily for women, a special opportunity is provided to focus on the issues of women throughout their adult life span. The University enrollment is approximately 90% female and 10% male with many students also identifying as gender fluid/TGNC. TWU also has over 50% racial/ethnic diversity, being 11th in the U.S. and 2nd in Texas for racial/ethnic diversity. The training program is based on the conviction that professional and personal development are mutually inclusive processes. There is recognition that internship is a critical period of transition and integration in our professional development as psychologists. The philosophy of the training program is developmental and focuses on learning and skill building through experience and understanding. The training staff is committed to providing an opportunity for interns to learn and work in an applied setting as a practitioner with a scientific foundation. This translates into a model of didactic and experiential processes which facilitate development through extensive supervision and feedback, similar to that of a mentorship. Other strengths of the program include the high value it places on issues of diversity and ethics. Additionally, interns receive extensive supervision for all training activities. Interns are also trained to provide clinical supervision to masters and doctoral level practicum students.
