The Center's orientation is toward briefer therapy, but interns have the opportunity to conduct longer-term therapy with a few cases. Interns provide regularly scheduled intake evaluations each week. Intakes form the basis for establishment of rapport, clarification of client needs and goals, behavioral observation, diagnostic assessment, and treatment planning. The Counseling Center offers a variety of therapy groups and specific population-oriented support groups. Interns are expected to co-lead at least one of these groups during the year.
Clinical supervision is provided by the staff co-leader.
Interns are also encouraged to develop groups in their own areas of interest with staff supervision. Career Assessment and Counseling. The Center provides clients with vocational assessment and counseling, in both individual and group formats. Interns offer individual career services as part of the hours designated for intake and psychotherapy. Interns also participate in the Center's group career workshops.
