CLINICAL TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES
Counseling Psychology students have several options in terms of their clinical training including CCPE, JCAP and CAPS.
• The Center for Counseling and Personal Evaluation (CCPE) where students can complete their clinical and assessment practica with a range of clients from the community as well as college students.
• Juvenile Counseling and Assessment Program (JCAP) where students can complete clinical and assessment practica with clients in the juvenile justice system.
• Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS) where students can complete clinical practica with undergraduate and graduate students in a short term treatment model.
• In addition, students can complete specialized training at various sites in Athens or Atlanta during their third year.
The program aims to provide learning experiences sufficient to enable students to develop competency in both research and applied practice. Graduates are expected to contribute to a deeper understanding of human experience through the design, execution, and dissemination of meaningful research. They are also expected to apply what is known about human development and therapeutic interventions to problems, transitions, and crises experienced by individuals, couples, families, groups and organizations. The principal goal of the program is to produce graduates who posses the personal and professional competencies required to serve as effective teachers, researchers, and quality mental health service providers.
