Counseling Skills Pre-Practicum

Catalog description

This course focuses on providing students with an opportunity to demonstrate their counseling skills in person during an on-site mock clinical experience focused on ensuring students are prepared for practicum in the spring. This course is a prerequisite for practicum and will occur during finals week of the fall semester. Similar to practicum, this course provides students with an opportunity to implement acquired counseling theory and techniques but in a mock setting before working with clients and students. The course focuses on specific techniques used in counseling practice (e.g., group and individual, short-term and extended, rational-emotive, play, and family).
