"Working at the Clinic was an excellent learning experience for me. I had an opportunity to deal with the financial aspect of the therapeutic relationship. This was an element I had not dealt with at my other internship site, where I worked exclusively with clients whose therapy was paid for by the county.
"I also appreciated the convenience of the streaming video. It was easy to set up the video and access it later. I liked that I could ask my supervisor to watch a segment of the video ahead of time or we could watch a particular part of the video together. This allowed me to receive concrete feedback on different levels more efficiently."

"I really appreciated the practical opportunity provided by the Antioch Psychology Clinic. For me, seeing clients at the Clinic was the perfect adjunct to the experience I received at my internship site. The sliding-scale fee meant that my clients received services at a great discount. At the same time, I was responsible for negotiating and receiving the fee, experience I did not receive at my off-site internship, but which is invaluable preparation for any private practice work I may do in the future.
"Because it is a training facility, clients are told up front that sessions will be videotaped. These video recordings were essential in providing the observation hours needed for my degree. They also served as a great learning tool in my development as a therapist. I would recommend to anyone to take advantage of the opportunity to get practical experience at the clinic BEFORE his or her off-site internship starts. It is a great chance to get your feet wet and get started without the added paperwork to learn at off-site locations."
