Graduate Students
Opportunities and funding support are available for Ph.D. candidates and post-doctoral fellows in the University of Rochester Department of Psychology who work at the Center. In addition to pursuing their own scholarly work, students in these positions are encouraged to participate in clinical and research activities of the Center. Internships in local social work and mental health counseling programs are also available for students.
Training is offered for interns in a range of evidence-based therapeutic models (e.g., Child Parent Psychotherapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, and Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). Comprehensive individual and group based supervision is provided to ensure therapeutic effectiveness and efficacy as well as professional growth.
