Eligibility
Clinical Psychology internships are available for advanced students in APA-approved Clinical or Counseling Psychology programs. Applicants must have completed practica. Internships are full-time, one-year placements (2000 or more hours). Only US citizens may apply for VA stipends.
As a member of the Association of Psychology Internship Centers, our program follows all Association guidelines.
Our internship program is fully accredited by the American Psychological Association.
Support
Standard VA stipend support is available for interns (stipend for 2009-2010 is $24,624 per year). In addition, education funds are occasionally available for interns to attend conferences and conventions relating to their internship work. Such activities are encouraged.
Open Houses
Open Houses are held instead of individual interviews since all requests cannot be fairly and equally granted. Applicants are invited to attend one of the Open Houses in early January 2010 (dates to be determined). Typically, the open house starts at around 8:30 AM and lasts until about 1 PM - There is a lunch (pizza) hosted by us at around Noon at which internship applicants can meet and talk to staff and our current interns. If you would like to come to one of the Open Houses, Please send us an e-mail message using the dialogue page. It should be noted that Open House attendance is not a requirement for selection.
