Description

Graduate fieldwork or pre-internship practicum students in counseling, psychology, and couple and family therapy programs are welcome to apply for an unpaid, pre-internship placement with us. It should be noted, however, that because of the extensive nature of our clinical training program and our commitment to continuity of care for our clients, we only accept students into our Pre-Internship Practicum Program who will then transition into our Internship Program. Typically this means a student will work with us for about three semesters, the first as a practicum student and the last two as an intern.

Interviews for our pre-internship practicum placements are held twice each year for our three official start dates. These dates are as follows:

• Interviews are held in November for our January start date. This allows the pre-internship practicum student the opportunity to complete her or his practicum requirements in the spring semester for an internship start date in the summer semester.
• Interviews are held in March for our May start date. This allows the pre-internship practicum student the opportunity to complete her or his practicum requirements in the summer semester for an internship start date in the fall semester.
• Interviews are held in March for our August start date. This allows the pre-internship practicum student the opportunity to complete her or his practicum requirements in the fall semester for an internship start date in the winter semester.

1. The Noeticus Universal Training Application
2. A copy of your résumé or CV
3. Three letters of recommendation (one from a recent instructor; one from a recent employer; and one from an instructor, employer, supervisor, colleague, or someone who knows you well, other than a family member or significant other)

Please submit your application materials to the Training Director either by email or regular mail. Please do not call unless you have specific questions after reading this web page. Applicants who meet our criteria will be invited to participate in a group information session followed by an individual interview with current team members.

• Applications for internship placements that begin in May are accepted through February 28 of the same year.
• Applications for internship placements that begin in August are accepted through February 28 of the same year.

POST-GRADUATE CERTIFICATE PROGRAM

The Certificate Program is offered through our Training Institute for Integrative Psychotherapy and is currently under development. The inaugural class is slated to begin in the summer of 2011.

The Certificate Program is designed for individuals who have already completed a master's degree in a mental health discipline and want to receive additional training in movement-oriented, body-centered approaches to psychotherapy.

The Certificate Program can be taken as a sequenced course of study that is divided into specific modules over a two year period of time, although it is also possible to take each of the various classes separately with prior approval by the Institute director.

If taken as a sequenced course of study over two years the Certificate Program is designed to meet alternate route requirements for certification as a Registered Dance/Movement Therapist (R-DMT) with the American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA) and as a Registered Somatic Movement Therapist (RSMT) with the International Somatic Movement Education and Therapy Association (ISMETA).
