Counseling Services
Counseling/psychotherapy services may be provided on a limited basis beyond the social and emotional support described above, by a qualified intern seeking a Master’s degree in clinical social work who is completing a 20 hour a week practicum placement. The social work student is supervised by a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker. Practicum supervisors meet regularly with the student to review assessments and treatment plans, to ensure that clinical interventions fall within professional standards of practice. Client’s progress notes and other documents are reviewed and co-signed by the practicum supervisor.
