"Throughout practicum and internship, we receive incredible support. Unlike many programs, our professors help us find practicum sites and prepare us for each step. From meeting with different sites at PIE day to licensure applications, professors supported us through the entire process. Because of the encouragement of faculty members and fellow classmates, I feel more equipped as a clinician entering the workplace."

"My expectation going into the program was focused on the academic rigor of the technical training, so I was pleasantly surprised by the equal ground given to areas of personal, emotional, and spiritual development. Not only were we trained to become competent clinicians, we were pushed to explore our own identities and who we are in the counseling room."
