MACP51020

Counseling practicum is designed to facilitate student development and application of counseling skills under supervision. In this course, students begin to acclimate to the practice of professional counseling by engaging in supervised individual and group counseling experiences and interactive class discussions focusing on skill development, counseling process, and professional identity. These experiences provide opportunities for practicum students to counsel clients who represent the ethnic and demographic diversity of their community and to expand their repertoire of counseling techniques and skills with direct and specific feedback from site and faculty supervisors.SPECIAL NOTES: Meeting times are on AZ time.
