Interns supervise practicum students from the University's APA-accredited counseling programs. We use a small group, live supervision format. Interns initially supervise with a senior psychologist and then take primary responsibility for practicum supervision. Interns are expected to co-facilitate a minimum of one group or workshop series per semester, eventually taking primary responsibility for both. Doctoral-level licensed psychologists will discuss your counseling cases with you, review tapes of your sessions, and help you further develop your interests and skills.
Interns meet weekly with the Groups Coordinator for training and supervision on their group work.
In addition, to the above, the intern group meets one hour per week with the Director of Training to check-in and discuss the internship. Some seminars are conducted jointly with the counseling center at the University of St. Thomas. Seminars are taught by university and community mental health professionals noted for expertise in their fields. At UCCS , feedback and evaluation are valued as part of our commitment to continuous improvement. Professional Activities Interns are given the opportunity to participate in administrative and staff development meetings.
