Practicums and Internships in College Mental Health

Setting

The University of New Orleans is an urban, state system university with a student population of approximately 12,000. Most UNO students live in the Greater New Orleans area and many are non-traditional. There is a large graduate and international student constituency. Likewise, the client population of The UNO Counseling and Career Center is quite diverse in age, culture, race, ethnicity, and presenting problems. These factors along with the supportive university community, provide an exceptional multidisciplinary training experience for the highly motivated social work, counseling, or psychology student.

Mission

The UNO Counseling and Career Center assists students in their psychological and vocational growth and development by providing a full range of personal counseling, skills building workshops and groups, psychological and career testing, and psychoeducational outreach and programming. High quality field placements and internships are our secondary mission. Training and supervision for students are provided by the UNO Counseling and Career Center staff who are licensed, experienced, and highly-skilled mental health professionals from a variety of disciplines.

  • Conflict resolution and mediation training
  • Crisis intervention
  • Career assessment, testing, and evaluation
