Practicum and Internships

Students in the Somatic Counseling Psychology program are required to complete a 200-hour fieldwork placement (100 hours of which must be completed before program entrance) and a 700-hour clinical internship. This requirement involves 70 hours of both group and individual clinical mentorship by a registered dance/movement therapist or body psychotherapist. If the student has not completed the clinical practicum after completing the required course work or is completing internship hours at a site during the summer, the student must enroll in PSYS 877, Extended Internship Placement, for every semester (including summer) until graduation or internship completion.
