Therapy Rooms
The Center houses eleven private therapy rooms, which include three
rooms specifically designed for child therapy. These rooms
include toys and activities which facilitate child sessions.
Observation Rooms
As a state-of –the-art training facility, the Center includes six
observation rooms with one-way mirrors to facilitate monitoring of
student sessions by supervisory staff and observation by practicum
classes. All observations take place with the written consent
of clients.
Audio-Visual Equipment
As an additional aid to training, eight treatment rooms are
equipped with cameras to permit recording via tape or digitally via
DVD. The recorded sessions can then be presented to
supervisors for feedback. All recordings are conducted with
the written consent of the client and are used exclusively for
training purposes.
Virtual Reality Equipment
Through the auspices of legislative grants, the Center has
purchased specialized computer hardware and software which supports
Virtual Reality (VR) environments. Currently, the equipment
is facilitating exposure-based treatment of military personnel
suffering from battlefield PTSD. IN the future, it is planned
that VR will be used at the Center to aid in the treatment of
specific fears, e.g. fear of flying, fear of heights, fear of
public speaking.
Computer Lab
The Center’s computer lab includes seven PCs which are used for
scoring psychological testing protocols, chart documentation via
specialized QuicDoc software, and general word processing.
Students in training at the Center have access to these computers
at all times.
Testing Materials
The Center’s library includes over one hundred twenty psychological
testing instruments and assessment protocols, kept up to date with
most recent editions.
Training Materials
A “Therapist Toolkit” which includes a library of workbooks,
empirically-based materials, and training DVDs and tapes
illustrating various psychological therapies is available to all
students as an adjunct to formal supervision classes and as a
pragmatic help in clinical work.
Classrooms
The Center houses four classrooms in which supervision classes and
special events are held. The classrooms also provide areas
from which therapy room observations can be made.
Student Lounge
A student lounge area includes seating, a microwave, and
refrigerator for student comfort.
