Master's Student Training: The Counseling Center at Tree City offers a comprehensive clinical training program for advanced master's students in counseling, marriage and family therapy, and social work. Designed to meet state licensure requirements and grounded in ethical, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive care, the program equips emerging clinicians with the skills necessary to serve diverse populations across Idaho. Students engage in direct patient care with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, addressing a wide range of presenting concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, suicidality, relational conflict, and life transitions. Interns typically complete 12-20 clinical hours per week and may participate in group therapy, psychoeducational workshops, and community outreach initiatives. The Counseling Center also serves as a training site for postgraduate clinicians seeking hours toward independent licensure.Each student is closely supervised by a state-licensed clinician, many of whom hold national certifications and advanced credentials. Supervision includes weekly individual and group sessions, live observation, case consultation, and video review, with a strong emphasis on ethical practice, diagnostic accuracy, and clinical documentation. The Counseling Center partners with regional universities to serve as an approved practicum and internship site, aligning evaluations with academic rubrics and licensure standards. Unique features of the program include exposure to the Guardian Angel Program, which models financial advocacy in mental health care, and optional training in faith-sensitive counseling for students interested in integrating spirituality into clinical work. Interns also receive crisis response training, including suicide risk assessment and safety planning. Graduates of the program consistently demonstrate strong clinical competence, ethical integrity, and readiness for professional practice in a variety of settings.
