Counseling Practicum

This course is the first opportunity for students to apply their skills in a mental health setting by providing counseling services to clients under the supervision of a faculty instructor and a site supervisor. The settings offered for practicum will be based on the needs and interests of students and the availability of qualified supervisors. The student will spend 100 clock hours during the semester on-site. It is expected that a minimum of 40 hours will be spent providing direct clinical service in both individual and group counseling sessions. Students will receive at least one hour of weekly individual supervision from a faculty instructor and 1.5 hours of group supervision per week from program faculty. The supervised counseling sessions will facilitate each student’s personal and professional growth. Feedback from the site supervisor and the faculty member will help students to identify strengths and areas needing improvement that will be further developed in their internship. Graded S/U.
