Postgraduate Residency
One to two post-graduate residency positions are available annually beginning in August of each year and ending in May. The next opportunity to apply will be for the 2023-4 academic year.
The residency is for the academic year, with the usual academic breaks. Residents are responsible for providing: (a) short term individual, couples, and group therapy; (b) assessment and referral services; (c) crisis intervention and on-call services; (d) outreach programming; and (e) psychological consultation to the campus community. Residents also have involvement in training and mentorship of master’s level practicum students through Cal Poly Humboldt’s Counseling program. Residents receive both individual and group supervision commensurate with the requirements for licensure.
Practicum
Counseling & Psychological Services providees practicum training to students in the Master's in Counseling program at Cal Poly Humboldt. We regret that we are not currently offering practicum opportunities outside of our commitment to the Psychology department.
