The residency at Counseling and Consultation (C&C) is a 2000 hour, 12-month training program. The postdoctoral program is an Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC) member. The staff represent a wide range of theoretical orientations, including psychodynamic, systemic, developmental, integrative, feminist, cognitive-behavioral, and interpersonal approaches. Clinical staff includes social workers, psychologists, counselors, and psychiatrists. Therefore, the training environment offers the richness of a multidisciplinary approach. Our program is designed to provide emerging professional psychologists a time to solidify existing skills, learn new competencies, and integrate their identity as a psychologist. To enhance and support that process, the training staff provide a safe and caring atmosphere while exposing residents to the variety of roles and experiences typical of university counseling center psychologists. The residency consists of 2000 hours of supervised professional psychological activities and is completed within 12 consecutive months. The program meets the post doctoral supervised experience requirements for licensure in Arizona. A unique aspect of the residency is the opportunity to create one or more areas of specialization. The following are possible focus areas:
C&C’s site in the centrally located Student Services building, ASU-Tempe campus, is a modern facility designed specifically for training. Multiple individual and group therapy rooms equipped with one-way mirrors and videotaping equipment are available for trainees. The resident has a private office equipped with videotaping equipment, a personal computer, printer, and a small tv/vcr used to review videotaped client sessions. Residents can access the university mainframe, electronic mail, and the university library system. We know that the application process is very stressful, and we would like to provide you with as much information as possible to assist in your decision making process. I will be happy to answer any of your questions about our training program. The quickest way to reach me is by email (jsavage@asu.edu) but you are also welcome to call me at 480-965-6146.
