Counseling & Educational Services Clinic
The Counseling and Educational Services Clinic is housed on the second floor of the Ammi Hyde Building and is jointly operated by the Counseling Psychology and the Child, Family, and School Psychology (CFSP) programs.
For students, the clinic offers supervised experience working directly with clients. For clients, the clinic provides an array of low-cost assessment, consultation and intervention services to children, adolescents, families and schools in Denver.
Formal and informal approaches are used to assess developmental delay, academic or intellectual giftedness, learning and reading disability, attention deficits, and other behavioral and emotional concerns that may be interfering with successful school, home and social performance. Clients receive individualized feedback and recommendations to improve their developmental, educational and life circumstances.
The clinic consists of several client rooms and a group observation room equipped with video camera links so students may be observed in real time by classmates and instructors during assessment, consultation and counseling sessions.
The clinic is co-directed by a licensed school psychologist who is an affiliated clinical CFSP faculty member. The CFSP Clinic Director oversees all school-based, educational assessment clinic services and supervises all CFSP students taking their psycho-educational Clinic Practicum class.
All students enroll in two one-credit clinic courses that require them to work one evening a week for two quarters.
