Clinicians in our counseling center serve the mental health needs of students in a variety of ways. General Services includes individual and couple psychotherapy, a vibrant group therapy program, and crisis intervention services. We work to foster team-based collaboration between our medical staff and mental health professionals and provide experience working within a medical context through several interdisciplinary treatment teams and our Integrated Behavioral Health program. Specialty programs including the DAY Programs (treatment related to substance use/abuse and other addictions) and the iTEAM (DBT-informed post-hospitalization program providing integrated care to clients experiencing an acute mental health crisis) provide additional opportunities for students to receive specialized care. The CSUHN has a strong commitment to social justice advocacy and has solid working relationships with the various Student Diversity Programs and Services offices on campus.
The training of clinically-competent, ethical, self-aware, and culturally sensitive psychologists is central to our mission. (Please click here for more information on the training program’s commitment to diversity.) We provide training to as many as thirty graduate students from diverse disciplines each year. All training is provided on site. The CSUHN does not use any distance education technologies for training or supervision. The seven training cohorts that comprise our training program are described very briefly below.
Our Doctoral Internship in Health Service Psychology has been accredited by the American Psychological Association since 1973 and was one of the first university counseling services to earn this recognition. Our Master’s Internships in Social Work and Counseling are offered to students from CSU and other regional institutions. Advanced Practicum placements are open to third, fourth, and fifth year doctoral psychology graduate students from CSU and nearby universities, and GSA positions are sometimes offered to advanced-level doctoral psychology graduate students in CSU’s Counseling Psychology graduate program. The second year Psychology Practicum (Prac 1) also is offered in conjunction with CSU’s doctoral program in Counseling Psychology and is only open to their students. We also offer Post-Doctoral and Post-Masters Fellowships. These fellowships provide opportunities to continue to build skills as a generalist clinician while also developing skills working with one or more specialized areas (DAY Programs, Integrated Behavioral Health, and iTEAM).
Basic Competency Foci:
Focus 1 – Clinical Services:
Goal: Fellows will consolidate traditional clinical skills through work in the General or Specialized Services branches of CSUHN Counseling Services.
Service Experiences: Services that Fellows may provide in this area include individual and couple therapy, group therapy, initial consultations, and day-time on-call. Commensurate with their advanced training status, Fellows typically have the opportunity to work with more challenging clients and to be the senior co-leader in therapy groups.
Focus 2 – Training:
Goal: Fellows will develop skills related to the training of emerging mental health professionals, which is one of the essential functions of a well-rounded psychologist.
Service Experiences: Fellows extend their experiences in the training arena by engaging in the individual supervision of developing mental health professionals. Fellows may also serve on the Training Team. Opportunities to co-facilitate training seminars can sometimes be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
Focus 3 – Outreach & Prevention Services:
Goal: Fellows will develop the ability to design and deliver prevention-oriented and psycho-educational interventions on a university campus.
Service Experiences: Fellows engage in university-based outreach and prevention services adapted for both the general student population and those targeted at underrepresented groups on campus, including the need for advocacy and social justice interventions. Fellows may develop an ongoing working relationship with at least one of the Diversity Offices on campus, such as the Asian/Pacific American Cultural Center, the Black African American Cultural Center, Native American Cultural Center, El Centro, the Pride Resource Center, Resources for Disabled Students, or Adult Learners and Veteran’s Services.
Focus 4 – Administration & Program Development:
Goal: Fellows will learn about administrative aspects of university counseling centers and integrative care.
Service Experiences: Fellows attend weekly Counseling Service Staff Meetings to participate in policy discussion and decision-making. They will participate in additional staff meetings specific to their specialized foci (i.e., DAY and Behavioral Health). Fellows will also serve on committees involved in the selection of next year’s trainees. They may work on developing additional programs that are consistent with both the mission of the CSUHN and with their professional interests.
Specialized Competency Foci:
Focus 1 – Alcohol and Other Drugs:
Goal: Fellows will obtain specialized skills for working with clients struggling with alcohol and drug use, by functioning as part of a multidisciplinary team providing an array of services and programs for student’s whose substance use has resulted in negative consequences. This will include the development of strong expertise in Motivational Interviewing.
Service Experiences: The Fellow’s clinical hours will be divided between facilitation of psycho-educational workshops, national best practice programs such as BASICS (Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students), individual therapy with a focus on Motivational Interviewing, harm reduction groups, and participation in the Open to Change (OTC) multidisciplinary treatment team. OTC is an innovative program, designed for working with students who are in need of substance use treatment and includes two tracks. Track A is a shorter amount of time and less intensive. Track B includes multiple phases and an aftercare component. The Fellow will have the unique opportunity to participate in all aspects of this multidisciplinary program, which uses a combination of sanctions and incentives to encourage positive change, while providing individualized treatment, psycho-education, and compliance monitoring. Approximately 75-85% of students in the DAY Program are typically mandated through the university conduct system; however, the Fellow will also work with a growing voluntary population of students whose goals are abstinence or decreased use.
Focus 2 – Integrated Behavioral Health
Goal: Fellows will gain practice in offering behavioral health consultations, obtain experience working in a medical clinic, and develop skills to prepare for professional opportunities in integrated settings, including VA hospitals, federally qualified health centers (FQHC’s), or universities that have integrated their mental health and medical services.
Service Experiences: Fellows will provide daytime behavioral health consultation services to students who are referred to Behavioral Health by a medical provider. Fellows can expect to gain skills in functional assessment, brief intervention, team-based interdisciplinary treatment, and experience in triage and crisis intervention. Fellows will also have time on their schedules for Behavioral Health follow up sessions with clients. BH often provides opportunities for Fellows to work with students from more diverse backgrounds during this component of their training, including students who would benefit from mental health or wellness support but, due to stigma or other reasons, would not seek out therapy through the main counseling services office.
Basic Training Activities:
Individual Supervision: The Fellow’s primary supervisor meets with them for scheduled individual supervision each week, as well as being available for impromptu consultations as needed. Supervision focuses on individual and couple psychotherapy, consultation on the Fellow’s work as a supervisor, and support for the Fellow’s professional development. Primary supervisors for Postdoctoral Fellows are all licensed psychologists. Primary supervisors are rotated each semester, so that the Fellows have the opportunity to be exposed to a variety of theoretical orientations and professional styles.
Case Conference: Fellows participate in the monthly case conferences attended by both Counseling and Psychiatry Services staff.
CSUHN Staff Trainings: A joint in-service training with mental health and medical staff is scheduled each month throughout the academic year. Retreats with all CSUHN staff are held in January and August. National conferences and symposia are regularly sponsored at CSU in a wide variety of areas, including diversity, suicide prevention, and Asperger’s Syndrome.
Postdoctoral Professional Issues Seminar: This seminar meets once monthly to address issues of professional growth and development. Seminar topics depend on the needs of each year’s Fellows, but may include EPPP preparation, job talks and searches, and exploring professional identity.
Opportunities for participation in additional training seminars (e.g., Group, Supervision of Supervision, Outreach) and opportunities to co-facilitate a training seminar are available, depending on the Fellow’s experience and training needs.
Specialized Training Activities:
DAY Group Supervision: DAY Program Fellows attend a weekly group supervision meeting that is attended by all DAY core staff and trainees. The DAY group supervision is focused on case consultation, discussion of challenging issues related to substance use, and review of policies and procedures.
Administrative Time:
Clinical Administration: Fellows are allotted five hours each week to write clinical notes, make phone calls, respond to emails, and tend to other administrative tasks.
Staff Meetings: Fellows participate in the weekly Staff Meeting with senior staff. In addition, the Drugs and Alcohol (DAY Program) Fellow will attend two hours of weekly meetings focused on staffing clients who are mandated to participate in the DAY Program.
Six core principles reflect our training philosophy and serve as a foundation for the model of training at the CSUHN. The following statements address our beliefs about the nature of training and our expectations for the treatment of others.
Broad-based training is essential for developing professionals.
We value the contributions of our own and other professional disciplines to the training program, recognizing that a diverse set of knowledge and skills are essential for effective practice.
Psychological theory and research are the foundation for competent practice.
The training staff believes that psychological theory and scientific research provide a foundation for conceptualization and intervention. The practice of mental health professionals should be grounded in theories relevant to their discipline and the supporting scientific literature.
An optimal learning environment is supportive and challenging.
We believe that learning is facilitated by an environment in which challenge is balanced with support. We value an open environment in which ideas can be explored and it is safe to make mistakes. We encourage trainees to honestly assess their professional strengths and limitations so that we may collaboratively establish training goals.
A commitment to self-awareness and a willingness to monitor the impact of personal needs on professional behavior are expected of all members of the staff.
Effectiveness as a mental health professional is not simply the result of skills acquisition, but rather the successful synthesis of competence and personal maturity that results in self-regulated, ethical behavior. Self-knowledge, self-care, and the ability to balance one’s personal and professional lives are essential to being an effective role model and instrument of change.
Each trainee and staff member has the right to be treated with respect.
Respect, honest communication, cooperation in meeting goals, and the support of one’s colleagues are central to a productive work environment. Evidence of bias, stereotyped thinking, and prejudicial beliefs and attitudes will not go unchallenged, even when such behavior is rationalized as a being a function of ignorance, joking, or cultural differences.
Respect for human diversity is a fundamental component of all activities.
The CSU Health Network bases all its programs and services, including training, on a philosophy that affirms the dignity of all people. We expect staff and trainees to be committed to the social values of respect for diversity, inclusion and equity. Both trainers and trainees should demonstrate a willingness to examine their own assumptions, behaviors, and values so that they may work effectively (as clinicians, teachers, mentors, and advocates) with “cultural, individual, and role differences, including those based on age, gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability, language, and socioeconomic status” (APA Ethics Code, 2002, Principle E).
We believe that becoming a competent psychologist, social worker or counselor is a developmental process requiring graduated experiences and training. Consequently, the CSUHN offers training experiences from beginning practica through postdoctoral fellowships. The didactic instruction and supervised practice opportunities vary according to the level of training and the readiness of the individual student. As trainees gain experience, expectations for more advanced professional skills, greater self-awareness and autonomous functioning increase.
We place a high value on the integration of one’s personal and professional identities. We strive to tailor each student’s experience to their individual needs within the structured activities of our training program. Ongoing self-assessment of one’s strengths and limitations is encouraged. When coupled with the supervisory feedback of multiple staff members who are committed to training new professionals, there is great opportunity for personal and professional development.
At the beginning of each semester, each Fellow and his/her supervisor work together to set individual goals for the Semester. At the end of Fall and Spring Semesters (January & May), the training staff meets with each Fellow to provide feedback about their respective performances and to solicit feedback about the Fellow’s training experience. The Supervisor’s Evaluation of Postdoctoral Psychology Fellow form is completed at this time. An abbreviated evaluation is conducted in July during the Exit Interview with the Fellow, individual supervisor, and Training Director. The areas covered on the written evaluations forms are structured according to the nine competency areas outlined in the Standards of Accreditation (SoA):
- Research
- Ethical and Legal Standards
- Individual and Cultural Diversity
- Professional Values, Attitudes, and Behaviors
- Communication and Interpersonal Skills
- Assessment
- Intervention
- Supervision
- Consultation and Interprofessional/Interdisciplinary Skills
Fellow Feedback for Supervisors and Training Staff:
At the conclusion of each semester, Fellows will have an opportunity to complete formal evaluations of their clinical supervisors and group co-leaders. Evaluations of training seminars/group supervision are completed at the end of the seminar. An Exit Survey is completed online by Fellows at the end of the Fellowship. Fellows are encouraged to provide on-going feedback to the training staff throughout the year and as members of the Training Team have input into all aspects of the training program.
The State of Colorado currently insures itself against litigation and will provide legal counsel and indemnification for employees (both paid and unpaid) in civil suits. Additional malpractice insurance is not required by Colorado State University.

Fellows receive clerical and technical support for client scheduling, business travel arrangements, computing, and general office functions. Each Fellow has a private, fully furnished office with a computer and video recording equipment.

The University’s 2018-2019 resident instruction enrollment was 28,679 with students from every state and more than 110 countries. Approximately 62% of the students are Coloradoans. Our U.S. student population identifies as 27.3% ethnic minority and 72.7% Caucasian. There are over 2300 students and scholars from foreign countries with the highest percentage from Saudi Arabia, China, Oman, and Vietnam. Women represent approximately 51.8% of CSU’s enrollment. Last year, 6084 students (approximately 21% of CSU’s 2018-2019 enrollment) were seen at the CSUHN Counseling Services. We saw primarily undergraduate students, with graduate/professional students making up 19.5% of the population we served. Of the clients who came to the CSUHN Counseling Services, 58.2% identified as female, 41.3% identified as male, and 0.5% identified in another way. In terms of ethnicity, 20.7% of our clients identified as ethnically diverse: American Indian/Alaska Native (0.3%), Asian American/Pacific Islander (2.5%), Black/African American (2.2%), Latinx (11.8%) and multiracial (3.8%). These numbers closely parallel the representation of these populations within the student body. International students comprised 8.5% of the students we served. Many more of these historically underrepresented students were served through outreach programming.
Colorado State University is one of our nation’s leading research universities with world-class research in infectious disease, atmospheric science, clean energy technologies, and environmental science. It was founded in 1870 as the Colorado Agricultural College, six years before the Colorado Territory became a state. Colorado State is a land-grant institution and a Carnegie Doctoral/Research University-Extensive.
Colorado State University is a “university of choice” for Colorado residents – 37% of all of Colorado’s science, math, engineering and technology majors pursue degrees at CSU. In addition to its excellent programs in those areas, CSU offers among the very best professional programs in the United States in veterinary medicine, occupational therapy, journalism, agriculture and construction management. Colorado State faculty are researching and tackling critical global issues, such as the reemergence of tuberculosis, air pollution in Asian cities, severe weather forecasting, nutrition and wellness, and bioterrorism. CSU’s faculty provides an enriched student learning experience by offering laboratory and field experiences from a major research university. This approach – combining the intellectual experience of the classroom with the practical experience of the field and laboratory – is based on the land-grant philosophy.
Colorado State’s Student Leadership, Involvement and Community Engagement office hosts some of the strongest community-service programs in the country, allowing more than 6,000 students to participate in the university’s proud tradition of public outreach. CSU faculty played a significant role in the founding of the Peace Corps, and CSU remains one of the primary sources of Peace Corps volunteers today.
Colorado State is ranked in the top tier of universities in U.S. News and World Report’s rankings of “America’s Best Colleges and Universities,” while Kiplinger’s Personal Finance Magazine named CSU one of the top public universities in the United States in terms of educational quality and affordability.
