A precepting placement for master's-level mental health counseling students and LPC/LMHC associates seeking supervised clinical hours. Individual therapy across five modalities, case conceptualization, psychopathology, ethics, and the integrated-care literacy that defines modern outpatient practice.
Mental-health counseling students gain depth in evidence-based therapy plus a working understanding of psychiatric medical care most counseling internships never touch.
CBT, MI, SFBT, IPT, and psychodynamic approaches — practiced live with real clients under supervision, not just covered in lecture.
How to formulate, plan, and revise — across presentations, populations, and modality choices. The skill that separates a technician from a clinician.
DSM-level differential and the clinical reasoning behind it. When to refer for psychiatric evaluation. How to read the medical context of mental-health presentations.
Communicating with PMHNPs and psychiatrists. Understanding common psychotropics at a literacy level. Building the integrated-care fluency outpatient counseling now requires.
ACA / state-board ethics in real cases. Documentation that meets payer requirements. Risk language, scope, and the parts of practice nobody teaches in class.
The intangible: how you sound in the room, how you hold the frame, how you become the clinician you're going to be. Supervised, named, and developed.
Include program, practicum vs. internship, expected start, hour requirements, and goals.
A 30-minute conversation to confirm fit and program-specific requirements.
We coordinate directly with your clinical-training coordinator for site agreements.
Orientation, supervision schedule set, clinical work begins with appropriate caseload.
Counseling placements are typically arranged 6–12 months ahead of the semester. Earlier inquiries get the best fit on dates, modality focus, and population.
