Our established training program has hosted over 10 students since 2019 and emphasizes comprehensive skill building through didactic learning, supervision, and mentorship. You’ll be supported in gaining the following critical tools to set you up for success in the counseling field:

• Training grounded in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), as well as other treatment modalities to build your skills in evidence-based practices.
• Training on clinical documentation, case management, and treatment planning.
• Telehealth and in-office work opportunities to develop proficiency in both modalities of service delivery.
• Clear guidance on risk assessment and intervention
• Setting and maintaining appropriate boundaries in counseling relationships

Your training experience will include:

• Providing individual counseling to adult clients (18 and older) from under-resourced and marginalized populations
• Weekly individual supervision sessions with Site Supervisor to enhance clinical skills and receive feedback on cases
• Collaborating with and/or shadowing with an experienced counseling mentor who will provide guidance and support throughout the training experience
• Attending monthly treatment team meetings to discuss client cases, receive peer consultation, and contribute to collaborative treatment planning
• Participating in community service, outreach, and advocacy efforts
• Assist with administrative tasks that will count toward practicum and internship hourly requirements

Direct (e.g. client facing) and indirect hours (e.g. assigned administrative tasks) will be reimbursed at $12/hour
