Counseling Clinical Experinces
Clinical Practice
The practicum is designed to provide you with 100 hours of valuable in-field experience. Forty of these hours are in direct service with clients, giving you a hands-on education in real-life settings.
With the internship, you’ll have 600 hours of in-field experience within your chosen concentrations, and 240 hours of direct service with clients. Both the practicum and internships build counseling skills and allow practice within a theoretical framework, all while you are supervised by a working professional in the field.
These are great opportunities. Many of our students are hired at the facilities where they did their practicum and/or internships after graduation.
Tevera
Tevera is an online platform designed to facilitate field experience, conduct assessment management, and collect and process program outcomes data. This program is mandatory for all Counseling students. Each student will be charged a one-time course fee of $260 through their NMHU student account, which will grant them access to the platform for life. The bookstore will distribute access codes via email during the first week of class.
Tevera will be integral to your Counseling program, serving the following purposes:
- Knowledge and Skills Development
- Site Placement
- Time Tracking
- Post-Graduation
Completion of your Counseling program at NMHU necessitates the use of Tevera. If you prefer not to incur charges for the program via your student account, kindly notify the bookstore through email (bookstore@nmhu.edu). All accounts remaining in the program will be charged for the Tevera platform, and this charge is non-refundable after the opt-out deadline. Once your account has been charged, you will promptly receive your Tevera access code via email. If you choose to opt out of the bookstore, you can purchase direct from the Tevera site (https://tevera.com/).
