 Interns at Antioch’s Community Counseling and Psychology Clinic develop basic professional skills and move toward establishing an integrated professional identity. Clinic services are provided by qualified doctoral and master’s degree students enrolled at Antioch.
As an internship site, the Clinic recruits, selects and trains those whose career goals include:
- Providing clinical services to populations on an individual and group outpatient basis
- Supervising therapists-in-training
- Engaging in consultation and outreach efforts
Primary objectives of interns include developing conceptual knowledge, applied skills and competence in the following areas:
- Couples and family counseling
- Individual counseling
- Child and adolescent counseling
- Group counseling
- Clinical assessment
- Individual and cultural diversity
- Crisis intervention
- Clinical supervision
- Consultation
- Outreach in the community
- Legal and forensic issues
- Professional functioning in an agency setting
Master’s degree student interns find the Clinic offers a way to work on the clinical hours needed for graduation. These student interns have a primary clinical site off campus and use the Clinic as a secondary site for their clinical experience.
For Psy.D. students, most of whom are licensed at the master’s degree level, the Clinic serves as a site to gain clinical experience. Doctoral interns must complete an internship of 1,500 hours, typically in two years if half time and one year if full time.
Another Way to Earn Hours Needed for Graduation
Some master’s and Psy.D. classes incorporate the Clinic in their coursework. Most students in these classes have not yet started their internship, but can begin earning their hours. M.A. students can count these hours towards their internship. Psy.D. students can count the hours towards their pre-internship hours.
