Training Programs

 

The Loyola University of Maryland Counseling Center offers advanced graduate students in clinical training programs the opportunity to learn and collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of clinicians and fellow trainees in the fields of Social Work, Psychology, and Counseling. Our programs prepare graduate students from these various fields of mental health to work in settings addressing the needs of the current generation of college students in a University Counseling Center setting. 

Our overarching training model is centered in social justice and cultural humility, where dialogue and action are infused throughout all aspects of our work. We offer supervision from a variety of theoretical orientations, some of which include: 

• Relational-Cultural Therapy 
• Client-Centered Approach 
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) 
• Mindfulness 
• CBT
• Psychodynamic 
• Interpersonal Therapy 
• Integrative Approaches 

Participants are exposed to a diversity of presenting concerns reflective of national trends in university counseling and will develop clinical skills that are transferable and applicable to a variety of mental health settings.
