The
Psychology Department offers the Doctor of Psychology
(PsyD) Degree in Counseling Psychology. The PsyD is
a professional degree in counseling psychology designed
to train graduates for the independent practice of psychology
with individuals, couples, families and groups and for
the supervision and training of mental health practitioners.
Counseling Psychology includes assessment, evaluation
and diagnosis; intervention with individuals, couples,
families, and groups; professional consultation and
program development with organizations; and supervision
and evaluation of counseling psychology services. The
program emphasizes brief, systemic, postmodern approaches
to psychotherapy. Within our practitioner-scholar model
of training, scientific training is integrated into
the practice-training component. The PsyD in Counseling
Psychology program is fully accredited by the American
Psychological Association (APA). For information
about APA accreditation status, contact the APA Committee
on Accreditation, c/o Office of Program Consultation
and Accreditation, 750 First Street NE, Washington,
DC 2002-4242, phone: 202-336-5979.
The PsyD program strives to meet the following goals
in the training of practitioner-scholars:
• To produce professional counseling psychologists
who have the requisite knowledge and skills for entry
into professional psychology.
• To produce professional counseling psychologists
who appreciate the interdependency of science, theory
and practice.
• To produce professional counseling psychologists
who contribute to the practice of psychology in their
work environments, communities, and professional organizations.
• To produce professional counseling psychologists
with skills in the competent and ethical delivery of
services to diverse populations, focusing especially
on those services to Hispanic groups.
The Counseling Psychology Program requires students
admitted with a master’s degree to complete 119
hours, including three hours for internship and nine
