Program Description

The Doctoral Residency in Clinical and Counselling Psychology is based at three Child and Youth Mental Health sites in Surrey, Langley and Delta, British Columbia. It is designed to provide supervised training in psychology practices, including individual and group psychotherapy, clinical intake and comprehensive assessment, outreach and community development, and professional collaboration and consultation. This internship is designed to provide the comprehensive supervised experience that meets the College of Psychologists of British Columbia internship requirements.  A detailed description of the residency program is provided in the Handbook.

Residents who work with the South Fraser Child and Youth Mental Health Residency Program will gain valuable experience with diverse populations and leave well-prepared in assessment, treatment, and best practices in ethics and diverse issues. Upon completion, residents are well equipped to work alongside other disciplines to best serve the mental health needs of children and youth, and their families. The Ministry of Child and Family Development provides a wide variety of outpatient mental health and child development services to promote good mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing.  We provide a range of training and supervision services to mental health professionals and students.
