Clinical Traineeship

Students in their third year and beyond have the opportunity to receive intense clinical training in a 20-hour/week external paid traineeship. Students work in a wide range of settings (student counseling centers, community mental health, school-based mental health programs, hospitals) where they receive on-site supervision. Students have the opportunity to provide a variety of clinical services in a "real world" professional setting, including individual and group therapy, assessment and report writing, and educational and prevention programming. Students often seek several traineeship sites to diversify their training. Below are listed just some of the traineeship opportunities available.

"The Student Counseling Service has offered me a wonderful opportunity to incorporate the theories and practice of therapy. It also provided a comprehensive training placement for me to practice individual and group therapy, career counseling, and outreach programs. The SCS is also comprised of a diverse staff who have been very supportive to me. Working in the SCS has been a process in which I experienced both personal and professional growth and I truly miss working there."

--Hani Henry, M.A., MU Student Counseling Service (2002-2003)

"My training experience at Dunn Center was excellent. I was able to work with a diverse array of clients, gain experience in assessment/report writing, and process my professional growth in helpful and supportive clinical supervision. It was an invaluable way to be introduced to the practice of contemporary community mental health care."
