The Psychology Clinic staff is comprised of doctoral students in the clinical psychology PhD training program. All graduate students receive their first three years of supervised experience in the Clinic, and more advanced graduate students may elect to continue to see clients in the Clinic as well. Student therapists are closely supervised by licensed clinical psychology faculty. All therapy rooms have adjoining observation rooms for live observation and recording of therapy and assessment sessions, to enable this supervision.
