This area involves demonstrating knowledge of and ability to implement models of consultation and may be met through activities associated with the Counseling Center, Wellness Center, or Women's Services. Interns may develop their own projects or collaborate with other staff members on new or ongoing projects and activities. Interns will be asked to co-facilitate a minimum of three outreach presentations per semester with one of these outreach workshops being an original design by the intern. More than anything else, we are looking for interns who have a genuine desire to learn and grow on internship. This competency area centers on professional behavior in supervisory activities, motivation for learning, awareness of strengths and limitations, capacity for self-supervision, openness to feedback and exploration of issues, and capacity to be appropriately assertive with supervisors.
Individual supervision is provided by all licensed psychologists on the senior staff.
Interns have the opportunity to request which supervisors they work with, subject to demand. Interns have two individual therapy supervisors with whom they meet each week. Many interns choose to keep one supervisor throughout the internship and to change the second supervisor at mid-year.
