CAPS Professional Training Program

CAPS offers a comprehensive training experience in the practice of psychology/counseling/social work We have four different training tracks depending on a student training needs. We are focused on contributing to quality, multi-disciplinary, and multiculturally focused graduate training.

Our developmental, practitioner-scholar model views learning as cumulative and sequential with an emphasis on providing a level of training appropriate for each individual’s learning needs and style.   We believe that professional growth requires expanded awareness of one’s own identity, increased awareness and understanding of others’ identities, and acquisition of effective clinical skills grounded in psychological theory.  We are committed to providing a supportive, collaborative environment for the progressive advancement of trainees’ clinical skills and practice.  

Our 10/20 Hour Training Placement opportunities include mental health clinical counseling, social work , doctoral practicum, and assessment interns/trainees. This training placement is intended to support counseling, social work, and psychology interns as they transition into increasingly independent practice and professional identity.  Trainees are provided guidance and support, while also being challenged to hone their skills in individual and group therapy, along with some crisis counseling.

The psychology internship program is intended to gradually facilitate interns’ transition from trainee to a more independently functioning professionals.  Interns receive a broad base of training that includes individual and group therapy, crisis intervention, assessment, provision of supervision, and outreach experiences.
