Therapy Internship & Practicum

​​​​​Therapy Internship & Practicum

UCAPS's internship & practicum opportunities offer intensive training in time-limited individual and group psychotherapy. Students can expect to gain experience in crisis intervention, assessment and referral, training of university staff and community outreach, which includes consultation/liaison opportunities and psycho-educational workshops. 

Each student will receive a minimum of one and a half hours of individual supervision and one hour of group supervision per week. Practicum students are supervised by Licensed Clinical Psychologists, Licensed Clinical Social Workers, or Licensed Clinical Professional Counselors (as required by the student supervisee’s academic and discipline-specific requirements). UCAPS has nine senior staff clinicians, including 3 licensed psychologists, 1 licensed clinical social worker, 1 licensed clinical professional counselor and a part-time, board certified psychiatrist. The practicum begins in late August and continues through mid June.
