Orientation

Practicum begins with a 2- to 3-week long orientation in Mid-August, designed to get acquainted with staff and other trainees, as well as to introduce trainees to agency policies and procedures, space, technology, and other logistical matters.

Individual Supervision

One-and-a-half to two hours per week of individual supervision are provided for both fall and winter semesters. Trainees are usually supervised by a postdoctoral psychology fellow or staff psychologist during the fall and one to two predoctoral psychology interns during the winter. The postdoctoral fellows and predoctoral interns, in their role as supervisors, are supervised by licensed psychologists.

Practicum Seminar

Practicum seminar occurs for one-and-a-half hours weekly throughout the academic year. It is comprised of a weekly check-in with the practicum coordinator to provide support, navigate challenges, and help foster training goals and professional development. Multiple sessions have presentations by permanent staff that discuss practice/professional issues pertinent to the field of psychology and counseling.

Mentoring

Practicum trainees will be given the opportunity to connect with permanent staff in a mentoring capacity. This relationship will be non-evaluative and confidential. Since this role is completely voluntary (and in addition to the normal staff responsibilities), the availability of mentors may differ from year to year. Every effort will be made to assign a practicum trainee to a mentor.
