With licensed psychologists as instructors and supervisors, you will receive the rigorous training and close mentoring so important to students’ professional growth.
WSPP’s faculty is diverse and purposely eclectic, representing a wide range of orientations and experience. In order to ensure that students are prepared to enter the profession upon graduation, WSPP insists that its clinical professors be licensed and currently practicing. Even the President and Dean hold outside practices. The faculty page describes their degree, track, primary theoretical orientation, and areas of expertise.
All WSPP Faculty are engaged in professional activities in the field in addition to their academic responsibilities. It is essential to our model that faculty not teach clinical courses, but also embody in their professional work the practitioner-scientist ideals that guide our program.
