This course provides you with an opportunity to start acquiring direct client contact and supervision hours towards graduation requirements. The emphasis of this course is on building foundational clinical skills and learning the skills needed to operate effectively and ethically when providing telehealth. Additionally, there will be a focus on furthering your systemic thought and application to clinical cases. You will be reintroduced to general systems theory as a foundation for exploring your personal theory of therapy. There is also a focus on cultural humility with diverse populations and ethical decision making, as well as an exploration of the self of the therapist and personal growth. A majority of the work in this course will occur in the weekly 2-hour group supervision sessions with other University students.
