Experiential Training
Hands-on experience is at the core of every single one of our programs. At GSPP we emphasize the importance of a practitioner/scholar model and believe that clinical training allows us to offer one of the most vibrant educational experiences for aspiring psychologists. Under the supervision of our exceptional faculty and external partners, our students are able to serve communities in need, while refining their clinical skills.
On-Site Counseling and Consultation Services
At our on-campus clinics, students work under licensed professionals to offer a broad range of mental health care services. Our Professional Psychology Clinic has provided low cost, high quality psychological services to the Denver community for nearly 45 years. Since then, as our specialized training areas have expanded, we have been able to add additional clinics and tailored services for populations with the highest need. Therapy options are available to accommodate individual adults, children, adolescents, couples, families and groups.
