Interns are involved in the full range of services offered by a comprehensive university counseling center serving a student body of over 32,000. Emphasis on individual, couples and group therapy; diversity/multiculturalism; crisis intervention; outreach and consultation; psychological assessment; integrating spiritual issues in therapy; and meeting interns' individual training goals. Training and experience in multicultural counseling are addressed through case assignment, supervision, consultation, clinical rotations, and didactic training. Twenty-five licensed psychologists offer a wide range of theoretical orientations in supervision and didactic training. Clinical rotations are offered in Couples Therapy, Multicultural/Cultural Diversity Services, Outreach Services, Group Therapy, Sports Psychology, Campus Housing, Stress Managment & Biofeedback Training, Testing and Assessment, Career Services, Teaching, Counseling Center Administration, Research, and Spirituality in Therapy. Interns are provided four hours per week to complete dissertation, or if their dissertation is completed they can use this time to work on other research, including study for the EPPP if desired.
