Description of Setting: The Center for Counseling and Psychological Services (C-CAPS) is a University-based counseling center providing direct psychological services, consultation and student development programming to the IUP community.  It also serves as a training site for graduate students from IUP’s Clinical Psychology and Counseling programs.

Nature of Experience: Graduate trainees are responsible for providing individual and group psychotherapy/counseling, intake interviews, and outreach programming on campus.  Graduate Assistants also participate in the Center’s on-call rotation during the Center’s daylight hours.  The college student population presents a wide variety of problems in living.  A graduate trainee can expect to work with a range of intellectually and emotionally challenging client concerns.  These include but are not limited to: anxiety and stress; depression and grief; physical, emotional and/or sexual abuse; eating disorders; individuation; sexuality and sexual identity; and peer and family relationships.

Supervision and Training: Practicum students are responsible for maintaining a caseload of 3-5 clients/week (plus 1 intake) and Graduate Assistants are responsible for a caseload of 10 clients (plus 2 intakes).  All graduate trainees are assigned a faculty supervisor/psychologist with whom they meet for one hour of weekly supervision. Trainees also attend training meetings, for two hours weekly, which address clinical and professional issues related to working with the Center’s student population.

Course Prerequisites: Individual counseling or intervention courses.  Group course is necessary if interested in leading groups.  Some previous clinical experience is required.

Time and Credit Requirements:

Practicum: 3 semester credits (10 hours/week) during consecutive fall and spring semesters.  Summers are possible following previous semesters at the Center.

Graduate Assistantship (half-time): 20 hours/week during consecutive fall and spring semesters. Hours must be distributed over a minimum of three days/week.  Standard GA stipend/tuition package.

Graduate Assistantship (quarter-time): 10 hours/week during consecutive fall and spring semesters. Primarily at the Punxsutawney campus.
