Counseling and Assessment Personnel
The clinic is staffed by counselors who are
graduate students working toward doctoral degrees in counseling
psychology or master's degrees in community counseling or school
counseling. Counselors are directly supervised by faculty, who are
licensed doctoral level mental health professionals. The clinic
director is a licensed psychologist. Because this is a training clinic,
all counseling sessions are recorded on videotape so that a supervisor
may assist the counselor in providing the best possible service. This
is a standard practice in training clinics. Tapes are never removed
from the clinic, are not kept as a part of counseling records, and are
erased following supervision.
The
counselors in the program have a wide variety of backgrounds and
experiences. Counselors represent a diverse range of ages, ethnicities,
and religions. Although it is not always possible, we will do our best
to match clients with counselors based on the client's personal
preferences for gender and background.
