Clinical Internship

The FSU Counseling Center provides mental health services to matriculated undergraduate and graduate students including individual and group counseling, consultations with faculty, staff, and families, and outreach programming to the larger university community. The Center’s clinical staff is composed of Clinical Social Workers (LICSW and LCSW), Mental Health Counselors (LMHC), and final year MSW and MMHC students in training.
