Clinical Practicum Training Program
More Information, Practicum Application
The practicum is a 9-month, advanced training experience for ASU students enrolled in the Master of Counseling, Master of Social Work, or Ph.D. in Clinical or Counseling Psychology graduate programs. Practicum counselors receive training primarily in focused individual counseling and group counseling. Practicum counselors also participate in agency outreach to the university, and a number of professional development activities including seminar training, case conferences, and professional presentations to C&C staff.

Wellness Psychology Practicum
The wellness psychology practicum is a 1-year long, 10 hour/week training experience for advanced students enrolled in the ASU Clinical or Counseling Psychology programs. This practicum emphasizes the provision of wellness psychology activities to the ASU community, including focused workshops, outreach and consultation. This is a specialty practicum designed to provide professional experience for students who anticipate a career focus in wellness psychology in a university or similar setting. Individual clinical work is not an emphasis of this practicum and thus this is not an appropriate setting for students seeking a primarily clinical experience.
