Our internship brochure and application procedures are on our web site for you to access and review. There is a detailed description of our training program, our professional staff interests, and the application process for your information.

Our predoctoral internship program in psychology is accredited by the American Psychological Association. The internship provides training opportunities in brief psychotherapy, group psychotherapy, primary prevention, outreach programming, consultation, and crisis intervention. A major emphasis of our program lies in its attention and commitment to multiculturalism. We have a diverse professional staff committed to providing training to interns in a student services agency. In respecting the individual differences among interns, we provide comprehensive, intensive, and flexible training and supervision to facilitate each intern’s further development and professional integration of clinical and outreach and consultation skills in their development as a psychologist.

We offer three full-time internship positions, each carrying a stipend of $25,000 and full benefits associated with being a UCSC staff member. The internship is for a full calendar year. We use the APPIC Application for Psychology Internship (AAPI) and the APPIC Internship Matching Program for selection.
