Training Opportunities

Doctoral Practicum

The doctoral practicum at the Counseling Center is designed to promote a developmental process in which students move into the role of therapist and prepare for their internship experience. While the bulk of training occurs in group and individual supervision and through service delivery, students also participate in an hour-long practicum seminar which includes a combination of lecture, experiential exercises, case presentations, and exploration of evidence-based treatments. Because the training staff believes that the foundation of professional competence and identity comes through personal development and maturity, it is the center’s goal to provide a supportive environment that models and encourages personal growth.  Students from the University of Kentucky Counseling Psychology and Clinical Psychology doctoral programs are eligible to apply for the practicum. 

Doctoral Psychology Internship Program

The Internship Training Program at the Counseling Center began its inaugural year in August, 2012. The internship will continue into its second year with 2 full time interns using the APPIC Match. The internship will begin on August 12, 2013. The University of Kentucky is a member of the Association of Counseling Center Training Agencies (ACCTA) and is accredited by IACS (The International Association of Counseling Services, Inc.). The psychology internship program is a member of APPIC (#2227). While the program is not currently APA accredited, it has been designed with the intention to apply for APA accreditation.
