Counseling and Dance/Movement Therapy Internship I

Catalog description

This course is one of two internship courses required in the student's final year. Students will be at a clinical site approved by faculty, with a site supervisor who meets standards for clinical mental health counseling supervision. Students must complete 300 hours in clinical mental health counseling to meet CACREP requirements; an additional 75 hours leading dance/movement therapy sessions are required to be accrued separately from the 300 CACREP-required hours. Students will receive supervision by a board-certified dance/movement therapist in a separate course ( CNDT 790 ). Site supervisors who supervise interns determine the structure and the content of the internship in cooperation with the Rider supervisor. The approval and cooperation of the intern's site supervisor must be obtained the semester prior to the actual placement. Pre-requisite(s): CNDT 585 .
