The UCC embraces a scientist-practitioner training philosophy to train Health Service Psychology interns in a comprehensive outpatient multidisciplinary agency; staff members include licensed psychologists, social workers, master's level mental health counselors (CMHC and LMFT), and psychiatric nurse practitioners. We provide preventive, developmental, and therapeutic services to a large and diverse university community. The agency has a strong and enduring commitment to diversity, inclusion, and anti-racism. We consistently strive to integrate multiculturalism into our everyday functioning. We advocate a philosophy of acceptance, compassion, and support for those we serve, as well as for each other. We have equally strong commitments to high-quality service delivery and to training. Specific opportunities include:
Counseling with individuals, groups, and people in committed relationships;
Intervening in mental health crises;
Co-teaching a credit-bearing undergraduate diversity course called Identity and Inclusivity;
Providing clinical supervision to doctoral practicum trainees;
Facilitating workshops through the SWAMP (Skills Workshops and Mindfulness Programming);
Conducting campus outreach/consultation; and
Completing formal assessment batteries and test reports.
Each intern completes an inclusion-focused, social-justice-oriented project called a Systems Intervention Project (SIP). Interns participate in intern training seminars in critical positionalities & diversity, group therapy, outreach & consultation, relationship therapy, applied ethics, professional development, psychological assessment, evidence-based practice, professional licensing and standards, and clinical supervision. Research opportunities are available. Please see our website for a complete description of our training program: http://counselingcenter.utah.edu/
