Program Description

The Doctoral Internship in Health Service Psychology at Guidestone is an APA accredited program. Our program is designed to facilitate the professional growth of pre-doctoral interns who are in the process of becoming practicing psychologists. Founded in 1864, Guidestone has a tradition of improving the lives and opportunities of children, families, and adults by providing an integrated system of effective behavioral health and family support services.The goals of the internship year include assisting the intern to become more skilled in the breadth and techniques of assessment and intervention with children, adolescents, and families. The educational and training model of the Guidestone Internship Program grows out of the Local Clinical-Scientist Model. Consistent with this model of training, the scientific approach is applied to all clinical practice endeavors through a process of learning, doing, and reflecting. Interns are exposed to research-based empirical and theoretical knowledge in the field, they are given a wide variety of experiences in service delivery, and they are asked to engage in ongoing analysis, reflection, and dialogue on the nature of this experience.The Internship Program's model of training is experiential, based on the belief that professional competency is developed through hands-on direct service contact with clients and subsequent in-depth analysis of that contact. We offer a diverse range of training opportunities including school based mental health, outpatient counseling, early childhood mental health, group counseling, and psychological assessment. We also offer opportunities to engage in scholarly inquiry and clinical training. For more information about the internship program, please visit our website and/or e-mail the training director.
