Clinical Internship Training Program

The FSU Counseling Center provides mental health services to matriculated undergraduate and graduate students. The Center’s clinical staff is composed of Licensed Independent Clinical Social Workers (LICSW’s), a Psychologist, and (most typically) final year MSW students in training. The Center offers individual, couple and group counseling, consultation to faculty, staff, and families, and outreach programming to the larger university community.

Training Philosophy
The FSU Counseling Center provides high quality mental health care to FSU students, and thus is committed to the clinical training program of graduate students who train at the Center. Supervision is a highly valued and supported component of the training experience, as are weekly professional development trainings, case conferences, and other learning opportunities. The focus of the training program is on helping trainees to develop both professionally and personally in preparation for entering the mental health field.
