Community Counseling Clinic Experience

Portland State University
Spring 2013-Winter 2014

As part of my clinic practicum training, I provided counseling services once a week (43 direct client hours) for Portland community members. During this time, I worked with five individuals and a couple on issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, self-image, divorce, self-care plan and co-parenting. Major techniques used were Cognitive Behavioral Technique (CBT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, along with basic counseling skills based on Gerard Egan Counseling Model (Active Listening, Empathy, Reflection, Motivational Interviewing, Immediacy, Goal Setting and Challenges for change).

School Counseling Syllabus

As a School counseling candidate, I went through the professional transformative school counseling curriculum that prepared me to develop comprehensive school counseling programs based on the American School Counselor Association National Model, Oregon’s Comprehensive Counseling and Guidance Framework, and Oregon’s Teacher Standards and Practices Commission. School counselors from Portland State University are informed by mission and a vision for school counselors that defines five school counselors competencies: (1) leadership, (2) advocacy, (3) teaming and collaboration, (4) counseling and coordination, and (5) assessment and use of data.
