SPYF 551 Counseling and Therapy with Children and Adolescents II

Building upon the foundations established in Counseling and Therapy with Children and Adolescents I, this advanced course emphasizes the application of therapeutic models and interventions for complex clinical presentations in school psychology. Students will gain experience integrating cognitive-behavioral, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approaches to address issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and social skill deficits. The course will focus on treatment planning, progress monitoring, and adapting interventions for all student populations. Case conceptualization, role-play, and supervised practice will allow students to refine their clinical decision-making skills and deepen their competence as school-based mental health providers. This course has an experiential learning component in the schools.
