Overview

Course overview

The mission of the Clinical and Counselling Psychology program at Clayton State University is to prepare students to be competent, ethical practitioners of psychological services in the community.

Students will develop skills in psychological assessment, and in a variety of therapeutic modalities, including individual therapy with adults and children; as well as family, couples, and group therapy. Graduates of the program will be able to apply knowledge from various theoretical frameworks (e.g., cognitive, behavioural, psychodynamic, humanistic) to intervene effectively with a wide variety of clinical concerns related to mental and emotional wellness.

The program's training philosophy emphasizes the importance of recognizing the uniqueness of each individual and the influence of culture and ethnicity when providing services to people from diverse backgrounds. Students will be expected to develop self-awareness, empathy, and compassion for people living with mental illness as well as other factors that contribute to emotional distress.

This program will prepare graduates to work in a broad range of mental health settings. In addition, the program prepares students for doctoral training in clinical or counselling psychology, specifically.
