Clinical training involves the evaluation, treatment and referral of our undergraduate and graduate students. There are extensive opportunities to work with both male and female late adolescents and young adults and to a lesser extent with adults of other ages.

There are rich opportunities to treat a very diverse clientele in terms of ethnicity, gender, culture, and socioeconomic background. The clientele presents with a wide range of problems including adjustment difficulties, relationship concerns, major affective disorders, eating disorders, anxiety disorders, and often present in psychological crisis. Learning disabilities, substance abuse problems, and other disorders are also present.

The clinical caseload is generally 16-20 hours per week and includes intake/assessment, crisis management, individual and group psychotherapy. It is expected that Residents take advantage of the many opportunities to participate in campus outreach and education. The remaining 24-28 hours per week are spent in supervision, outreach, case consultation, seminars, and chart documentation.
