Noeticus Counseling Center and Training Institute is pleased to announce that our clinical practicum, internship, and externship placement process is once again open for applicants who are interested in joining our training team. Practicum placements are approximately one semester (or 4 months), internship placements are 12 months, and new externship placements are also 12 months with renewable contracts. The next training cycle for our clinical training positions begins in either May or August, 2014 and the application period goes from January 15 through February 28, 2014. We will only be collecting application materials during this time frame and not scheduling any interviews until after the application deadline for this start date, which once again is February 28, 2014.
Noeticus Counseling Center is a community-based, not-for-profit organization located in the heart of Denver, Colorado. Our mission is to provide innovative, affordable, and socially-just counseling and psychotherapy services to a variety of individuals, couples, and families within the greater Denver/Boulder community, as well as basic and advanced clinical training opportunities to mental health professionals both locally and across the country. In terms of our clinical training model, we use a highly structured, cohort-based, developmentally-sequenced skill acquisition framework as the foundation for all of our training programs. This model provides both support and structure for our trainees (both students and clinicians) as they navigate within and through our various training programs.
Our training program is designed to support your students (and our alumni) in successfully establishing themselves at the end of their clinical training period as integral members of clinical treatment teams or as ethically developed, clinically-sound independent practitioners. This is an excellent placement for motivated individuals looking for a training experience that teaches the skills and tools necessary for a successful private practice along with the benefits of a supportive, involved, diverse, and creative clinical team.
