PSYC 577: Counseling Internship in Supervision

Counseling Internship III is an elective extension to the clinical sequence in the Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology program. As with the two preceding Clinical Courses (PSYC 575 and 576) involves a placement in a clinical setting, for between 300-450 hours (see footnote under PSYC 575), to enable students to deepen and strengthen their development of counseling skills and to integrate professional knowledge and skills. Counseling Internship III provides an opportunity to perform the activities that a mental health counselor would perform under the direct supervision of a licensed mental health professional. In addition to the hours at the counseling placement, the course involves a weekly supervision seminar where students enrolled in PSYC 577 will lead the supervision of students from the Practicum (PSYC 560) or earlier internship course (PSYC 575 and 576). Successful completion of the PSYC 575 and 576 is necessary to enroll in this course.
