The Marshall University Psychology Clinic has been established by the Department of Psychology to serve as a training facility for advanced graduate students enrolled in the clinical psychology program at the university and to provide high quality, low cost, confidential psychological services to individuals on the campus and from the local community. The student clinicians are graduate students in the Marshall University Clinical Psychology Master of Arts program. Student clinicians provide services under the supervision of qualified clinical faculty selected by the Department of Psychology to fulfill supervisory and teaching functions. A variety of services is offered by the clinic. These include individual psychotherapy, psychological assessment, group psychotherapy, as well as educational workshops and other events.
Some faculty also provide services.
Although the clinic is not a for-profit venture, nominal fees are charged for services. The Board of Trustees developed the Public Service Internship Program to place qualified students in state government agencies for an offcampus learning period of one semester. Students enrolled in this program work a fortyhour week with an executive agency in a supervised intern program. They also attend a weekly seminar conducted by the state program coordinator and have a directed studies program conducted by their major department at Marshall. Participants must be fulltime Juniors or Seniors.
