Practicum 1

This course is the first of four that offers the student an opportunity to practice family systems approaches to therapy in a mental health counseling setting, under the supervision of a licensed marriage and family therapist. Students will receive both group and individualized instruction and supervision within didactic and experiential settings. Within this course students will also complete a benchmark requirement, the Role-Play Exam. Students will spend at least 50 client contact hours at a practicum site under the supervision of a clinical supervisor and receive supervision from an AAMFT-approved LMFT Supervisor.
