If you are interested in training with us at PCPS, we ask that you email us an application with the following application materials:
 

• Cover letter: please indicate the type of practicum training you are seeking (diagnostic, advanced therapy, advanced neuropsychological, or supplemental practicum). For applicants seeking advanced and supplemental training, please describe your specific training goals, including any therapy hour or assessment experience goals.

• Curriculum Vitae

• Two Letters of Recommendation: We prefer that you provide letters from your faculty or clinical supervisors.

• Unofficial Transcript: We only require transcripts from your graduate programs.

• Writing sample: For applicants seeking training in diagnostic or advanced neuropsychological assessment, please submit a deidentified cognitive assessment report. If you are applying for a therapy or advanced/supplemental therapy practicum, please include a deidentified case conceptualization.

• Letter of Eligibility: Please include your program’s Letter of Eligibility to apply for practicum.

• Empathic Responding Audio-recording*: If you will be practicing psychotherapy at PCPS, please include a 20-minute audiotape of empathic responding that stays completely within the client’s frame of reference (i.e. expressing understanding of the client while not asking questions, giving advice, interpreting or the like…).  This tape does not need to be a client tape—it can be a session with a friend, fellow-student, or other person.
   

*We understand that audio files may be too large to send via email. Please note that you can include a link to the audio file that you have uploaded to Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud, OneDrive, or other cloud storage services.
