Job Description

The internship is a generalist program designed to train clinical, school, behavioral, neuropsychology and counseling psychologists for competent and responsible professional work in the postdoctoral year or in entry-level internship positions. It is our expectation that interns will utilize their internship year to broaden and extend their practice of psychology, rather than narrow their focus. While interns have the opportunity to refine skills already developed in graduate school, we also strongly encourage interns to try new approaches, new techniques, and new perspectives, in pursuit of a well-rounded education.

• Counseling individual, families and groups.
• School Psychology.
• Clinical experience and training in behavioral psychology by working in the applied behavior analysis program.
• There are also opportunities for forensic psychology training. Real Hope Real Help will provide educational offerings including a didactic series from several sources.

Clinical experience is gained during one calendar year of full-time practice. The schedule is typically 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but exceptions can be made for a personalized schedule. Prior to beginning clinical work, interns receive current information about the experiences available in the clinic, and are aided in reviewing their own individual goals and prior experience. Each intern or post-doc fellow with develop an individualized set of goals that he/she expects to meet as part of their training experience over the calendar year.

Program Goals, Objectives and Competencies:

• Internship provides a year of intensive, supervised clinical training, intended as a bridge between graduate school and entry into the profession of psychology.
• Training at the sites of Real Hope Real Help MHC, local school districts, and our ABA Center are designed to accomplish a number of important training goals as a foundation for independent professional practice.
• Interns should demonstrate competence in clinical areas by the end of the internship year.
• Many of these goals, objectives and expected competencies will build upon knowledge and skills already well developed during doctoral training.
• All of the internship placements will provide opportunities for further development of these 'cross cutting' competencies, though placements might emphasize some competencies more than others.
• Additionally, other program components (including didactics and clinical research) will provide added challenge and the opportunity for integration.

• Completion of all coursework, and working on or have completed dissertation.
