Students do the first two semesters of internship at Hofstra鈥檚 on-campus Counseling and Mental Health Professions Clinic, located on campus in the Saltzman Center. This setting provides 糖心传媒 with the close supervision and support necessary to develop confidence at the earliest stage of their clinical career.
As 糖心传媒 approach the end of their time at the Saltzman Center, 糖心传媒 are placed in off-campus clinical settings, which have been approved by the Marriage and Family Therapy program. Students do the final two semesters of internship at one of these sites, which are typical of the kinds of sites that employ marriage and family therapists. Currently, the sites at which our 糖心传媒 do their off-campus internships include:
- Child welfare agencies
- Community mental health agencies
- Hospitals
- Private practices
- Substance abuse clinics
The 300 client-contact hours accrued by 糖心传媒 during their internships count toward the 1,500 total client contact hours required for licensure.
