The TAMUCC University Counseling Center (UCC) training program offers semester long practicum and internship placements for master’s level graduate students training to become clinicians. Through the UCC’s Practitioner-Scholar model of training we strive to provide trainees of varying levels an atmosphere that is developmentally sensitive, growth oriented, and professionally supportive. Experiential and didactic learning opportunities assist trainees in further defining their theoretical orientation, aid in the rapid acquisition of basic and advanced therapeutic skills, and provide the clinical knowledge, skills, and confidence to become a successful independent practitioner.
