Internship Programs

Clinical Training Program
CCCAC's Clinical Department provides a supervised experience in various aspects of community-based mental-health treatment. The department was formed to meet the mental health needs of children traumatized by abuse, neglect, and or domestic violence. Services are also available to non-offending family members.

Working within a state-of-the-art therapy center that includes ten developmentally specialized therapy rooms, the Clinical Training Program offers graduate students an opportunity to experience multiple therapeutic modalities including play therapy, individual, art, music, family, and group therapies.

Under supervision, graduate level practicum students, counselor interns, social work fellows and post-doctoral psychology fellows provide professional services. Students receive weekly individual supervision of at least one hour, and group supervision of at least two hours.

Four types of internships are available:

  • Master's level practicum students completing a Masters degree in a mental health counseling field. They contract 9 months of service as part of graduation requirements.
  • Licensed Professional Counselor Interns holding a Masters degree in a mental health field and a temporary license. They contract 12 months of service as part of the requirements for obtaining the Licensed Professional Counselor credential.
  • Persons completing a Clinical Social Work Fellowship holding a Masters degree in Social Work and a license as a Master Social Worker. They contract 12 months of service as part of the requirements for obtaining the license of Clinical Social Worker.
  • Post Doctoral Psychology Fellows holding a Doctorate degree in Psychology and a provisional license as a Psychologist. They contract 12 months of service as part of the requirements for obtaining their psychology license.
