Doctoral-level Clinical Training​

​

​This training program focuses on counseling and clinical psychology doctoral students by offering intense clinical experiences that will prepare you to function in many different specializations within the field of psychology. Clinical experiences that you receive are based on your academic level and clinical development. 

​

Typically, doctoral interns start in the fall (August), and

applications are accepted on a rolling basis until extern/internship spots are full. Our doctoral interns usually dedicate 14-20 hours per week to clinical training. 

 

Our doctoral training program has four rotations, two of which are required:​

​

Therapy Rotation

This aspect of our program trains you to provide direct therapy services for individuals, families, and groups via telehealth and in-person settings. Clinical training also includes treatment and discharge planning, case conceptualization, and crisis intervention.

 

Note that we do not offer clinical training that is 100% telehealth. Our training programs are all hybrid programs. 

 

Assessment Rotation

This rotation gives you the opportunity to learn the science and art of psychological evaluations. You will be administering, scoring, and analyzing psychological tests under the supervision of a licensed psychologist. You will also take part in the feedback sessions. 

​

Research Rotation (Optional)

During this rotation, you will engage in research activities through our research center, The Center for Researching & Understanding Sexual Health (CRUSH). You'll have the option of creating your own survey and researching a topic related to one of our four research series--Sexual Wellness, Intimacy, Relationships, or Love & Lust. If you don't want to create an original topic, you can analyze data that we already have from previous research projects. 

​

Specialty Rotation (Optional)

If interested, you may train in one of our specialized rotations when supervision is available. For example, you may get training in being a clinical supervisor (i.e., co-supervising a masters-level intern) or psychology administration (i.e., running a mental health program).

 

Supervision

In terms of supervision and consultation, we provide the following opportunities, all aimed at increasing your clinical development:

• One (1) hour of individual supervision (weekly)

• Two (2) hours of supervisor-led group supervision (monthly)

• Two (2) hours peer-led group consultation (monthly)

• One (1) hour of case consultation (monthly)

• One (1) hour of didactics (monthly)
