COUNSELING INTERNSHIP I

The purpose of the internship is to provide the counseling student with an opportunity to develop a formal understanding of the overall role of the counselor. This experience provides supervised activities by a faculty member and licensed professional counselor that are evaluated in such a way to determine the student’s potential for success in the profession. Students are required to have a minimum of 300 hours direct client contact, with weekly supervision of 1 hour individual, dyadic or triadic format by an on-site licensed supervisor, with an average 1.5 hours per week group supervision performed by a licensed faculty member. A formal evaluation for fitness to practice is made upon completion of the internship experience.
