COUN 515B - Clinical Mental Health Counseling/Field Experience II

Unit(s): 4

This seminar provides opportunities to build upon and consolidate the field based training skills addressed in COUN 515A. A group discussion and supervision format continues to provide supplemental support relative to counseling field work in community counseling settings (CMHC – MFT & LPCC). The class meetings are designed to supplement the individual and group supervision received from site supervisors, and the goal of the seminar is to help students develop a model of professional functioning through the integration of theory, pragmatic strategies, and personal development. Aspects of cultural diversity that influence counseling practice in community and school settings will be addressed didactically and experientially. Integral to this experience is the exchange of feedback and support among seminar participants. Significant attention is paid to working with clients and systems in crisis and experiencing trauma. Students will complete a culminating case study project, with both oral and written components
