Santa Rosa Junior College Student Psychological Services (SPS) is embedded in Student Health Services and is a half-time CAPIC internship site. We offer doctoral level half-time internships in several formats. Interns may select a two-year or a one-year option. In addition, interns may select a 24-hours-a-week, 12-month option, as this will provide 1000 hours per year, meeting criteria for licensure in any US state. Interns may also select a 20-hours-week, 10-month option, providing 750 hours per year, meeting CA criteria. Interns should select that later option only if they are 100% certain they will always practice in California. Direct services are provided by eight trainees each year, who are supervised by Licensed Psychologists, and who provide individual, couple, and crisis/drop-in therapies as well as educational presentations and biofeedback services, as part of the clinical and outreach services at SPS. Many trainees are advanced practicum students, while several are pre-doctoral interns, in either one or two-year placements. The second year has expanded responsibilities. Experienced mental health professionals, including licensed psychologists, provide weekly individual (one hour) and group supervision (two hours); weekly didactic trainings (two hours) are given by a range of professionals from the program and the community. The topic of the trainings in the year mirror the developmental needs of incoming interns, beginning with such topics as Developing Therapeutic Alliance and Crisis Intervention, and moving through a variety of Diagnostic topics, Professional Development issues, and a range of Intervention and stage of therapy skills.

The mission of Santa Rosa Junior College’s Student Health Center is the treatment of health difficulties which interfere with students’ academic or personal functioning. Student Psychological Services (SPS) provides psychological treatment and support as part of this mission. In addition, SPS is committed to supporting each intern therapist to develop their own style of therapeutic interaction within the framework of ethical and professional clinical practice in a collaborative and respectful setting. Within this program interns learn their interests, strengths and limitations as clinicians, and develop confidence to learn new skills. Supervision follows a developmental model (meeting the trainee where they are), both in individual and group sessions. The emphasis is on building a trusting and mutually respectful relationship between and among all SPS supervisors and interns, and using this to deepen interns’ sense of professional identity and supervisors’ experience of intern professional growth. Group supervision and case settings include an additional layer of modeling and mentoring among the various levels and types of experience within any given year’s cohort, and interns are actively encouraged to learn from one another and to stretch and express their professional voices. This attitude and approach is reflected in the collegial and cohort/program relationships and functioning as well. Interns are encouraged to be supportive and engaged, and to receive support and feedback from peers, building a strong sense of interaction and ownership of the functioning of the training community.
