In an exciting development for both students and the university community, clinical psychology doctoral students at Oregon State University are now gaining hands-on experience by treating their first on-campus clients. This initiative takes place at the newly established Psychology Training Clinic, where students engage with fellow OSU students seeking psychological support.

Under the careful supervision of licensed psychologists, these Ph.D. candidates are applying their academic knowledge in real-world scenarios, allowing them to refine their therapeutic skills. This program not only benefits the students by providing invaluable practical experience but also offers essential mental health services to the campus community.

The clinic aims to create a supportive environment for both clients and students, fostering a learning atmosphere that promotes professional growth. As these aspiring psychologists embark on this journey, they are equipped to make a meaningful impact on the mental well-being of their peers, marking a significant step in their professional development.
