CSL 593 Mental Health Counseling Internship I

The internship in mental health counseling is a 300-hour structured work experience which focuses on the development of individual, family, and group counseling skills. Students will demonstrate competence in assessment, case management, and consultation. Students will be placed in an appropriate community agency or college counseling center to perform the services of a professional mental health counselor. Students will receive intensive supervision from both a primary on-site supervisor and their faculty liaison. The Master's Seminar in Ethics and Counseling I is taken concurrently with the Mental Health Counseling Internship I. The internship will be arranged at the end of the student's program, and the student must have permission of their advisor. Students are required to complete whatever background checks/fingerprinting/health clearance their internship site requires of them prior to starting internship. For those students interning at a placement without any requirements, students must follow the departmental policy in place regarding background checks/fingerprinting/health clearance prior to starting their placements. Placements are typically one year long and begin in the Fall; students take CSL 593 in the Fall and CSL 594 in the Spring. Pre-requisite: CSL 585; Co-requisite: CSL 589. Fall.
