Psychology Internship Opportunity: <\/b><\/span>
\n Sex Offender Treatment Program<\/b><\/span>
\nUtah State Prison, Draper, Utah<\/b><\/p>\n

The SOTP internship has brought many opportunities to test and verify that I want to become a clinician.\u00a0<\/strong> I have served as a psychology technician for seventeen months in a real-time setting at the Sex Offender Treatment Program at the Utah State Prison.\u00a0 During my tenure there I have developed and taught two sixteen-hour anger management classes and now teach an eight-week parenting class specifically geared to inmates.\u00a0 Under the direction of psychologist Dr. Lisa Cloyd, my specific responsibilities also include completing\/scoring inmate intake testing, conducting 90-minute inmate psychosocial interviews, and observing group therapy.<\/p>\n

Yes, I was a bit nervous about the environment and the topic, but both have proved to be background issues as I have thrived in the real-time setting of psychological interventions.\u00a0 Anyone serious about becoming a clinical or counseling psychologist should seriously consider this opportunity.<\/p>\n

This internship experience has provided an opportunity to develop my interpersonal, teaching, and budding clinical skills in a real-world setting.\u00a0 It has the additional benefit of being paid, giving you up to twenty hours a week of experience, and offering insight to the needs and challenges of an underserved population.<\/p>\n

Please feel free to email me at marie@houseoforder.com<\/a> if you want more details about my experiences.<\/p>\n

Thanks for sharing Marie! The Prison will be holding interviews November 12th & 13th for two new positions. <\/strong>Go to the ‘Internship Opportunities’ link \u00a0in the ribbon\u00a0at the top of this page for details.<\/p>\n

We would love to hear about your internship experience as well. Please leave a comment here or email karen@byu.edu to request the opportunity to share the benefits and learning points from your recent internship experience!<\/strong><\/p>\n
