Counseling & Psychological Services Center Master's Internship

We are currently not making any new affiliations at this time due to capacity restraints.

The 91¶ÌÊÓƵ Counseling & Psychological Services Center (CPSC) is pleased to accept applications for Master’s-level Interns on a rolling basis to fill positions as they are available. Start and end dates are negotiable, with a preference for work to be completed during the fall and spring semesters. Duties primarily include individual counseling, with additional opportunities for couples counseling, group counseling, outreach, and other developmental experiences as available and appropriate.

91¶ÌÊÓƵ (91¶ÌÊÓƵ) is a primarily undergraduate institution of approximately 30,000 students, with a substantial nontraditional population. The main campus of 91¶ÌÊÓƵ is located in Ogden, Utah, approximately 35 miles north of Salt Lake City. Please visit the university website  for further campus information.

CPSC has a staff of ten mental health professionals and one part-time psychiatric nurse practitioner. Services are provided within a brief therapy model on both Ogden and Davis campuses (interns provide services on the Ogden campus only). As 91¶ÌÊÓƵ is an open-enrollment institution, the CPSC serves various clinical populations and works with a broad range of client concerns. This provides a rich training environment.
