Program Description

IPS Introduction
Irby Psychological Services (IPS) is a private outpatient multidisciplinary, multi-site clinic that has been providing mental health and related services in Mississippi since 2020 to a predominantly neurodiverse, multicultural, and underserved population. For Interns training at IPS, they will be engaged in an array of psychological services to include psychological assessments and interventions for children, adolescents, and adults. Interventions include individual psychotherapy, family therapy, parent-training, and group social skills. Psychological assessments include both psycho-educational and psychological evaluations (measures include intelligence, achievement, personality, and behavioral tests, and other specialized evaluations including autism-specific measures). Some evaluations are multidisciplinary in nature and conducted alongside speech-language pathologists and other related service providers (e.g., occupational and physical therapists, behavior analysts, etc.). Our aim is to prepare Interns for general practice in applied psychology informed by a solid foundation of knowledge of evidenced-based practice.

About IPS
Opportunities during internship will include working with culturally diverse clients representing a broad spectrum of diagnoses -- with a solid focus on neurodevelopmental disabilities throughout the lifespan (e.g., autism, ADHD, intellectual disabilities, specific learning disorders, etc.), conduct diagnostic evaluations and learn a variety of treatment approaches to include evidence-based practices such as parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT), applied behavior analysis (ABA), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Psychology Doctoral interns typically engage in various forms of interventions, assessments, and consultation. Regularly scheduled seminars and didactic trainings enhance developing skills while Interns simultaneously serve as mentors to practicum students from local universities to gain further experience in supervision of others.
