Training Philosophy, Program Aims, and Competencies
The USF Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) provides Post Doctoral training in Health Service Psychology (HSP) within a university counseling center context. Our fellowship emphasizes training in brief, time-limited therapy and multicultural awareness within an integrationist framework. Our strong commitment to training includes participation of all clinical staff. The training program assists fellows in enhancing and consolidating knowledge and skills while providing didactic and experiential opportunities that facilitate development of professional identities as psychologists. CAPS is consistent with USF’s Core value of having a commitment to the “full, integral development of each person,” by providing a training program that facilitates the development of ethical, competent psychologists who can function independently and make positive contributions to the profession. Best described as a practitioner model, an emphasis is placed upon grounding clinical practice in theory and
USF CAPS POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN HEALTH SERVICE PSYCHOLOGY 4
research and the development of mentoring relationships with supervising psychologists.
CAPS is committed to a brief therapy approach to clinical practice that is grounded in evidence-based treatment. We believe that the important aspects of training in brief therapy include:
1) an attitudinal shift on the part of the therapist, to see brief therapy as efficacious and oftentimes considered as the treatment of choice; 2) an exposure to a multiplicity of therapeutic frames and methods, with a focus on adapting them to brief work;
3) an insistence, to the extent possible, that therapeutic frame and method be fitted to the client rather than the reverse; 4) an integration of a multicultural perspective into both case formulation and an interactive approach to the client; and 5) an emphasis on continual practice in defining a focus with the client, and in orienting the therapy to that focus and its associated therapeutic goals.
Also in line with our sponsor institution’s “belief in and commitment to a diversity of perspectives,” our training in brief therapy is based on an integrationist approach. Our approach incorporates various theoretical models and interventions, while keeping in mind individual, cultural, and societal considerations. These ideal characteristics of a multicultural, integrationist approach to brief therapy are not simply actualized in some absolute fashion, even by experienced staff members. Rather, they represent orienting considerations that inform our work and training in an ongoing fashion. We see training as a process where we share our struggles and questions, our successes and failures, as a group. In the end, we are committed to assisting fellows in developing their own perspectives toward brief therapy and moving closer to the integration of evidence-
USF CAPS POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN HEALTH SERVICE PSYCHOLOGY 5
based frameworks and methods with the goal of preparing the fellow for a Health Service Psychologist position in a university counseling center.
The Postdoctoral fellowship program provides generalist training over the course of the year. Fellows continue to enhance and solidify the development of clinical skills required for the professional practice of health service psychology with advanced training and supervision in brief, time-limited individual psychotherapy, group therapy, crisis intervention and management, on-call coverage, triage assessment and disposition planning, intake evaluation, provision of supervision, consultation, outreach program development and delivery, and committee work.
Through achievement of Profession Wide Competencies, the overarching aims of the training program are to: (1) Enhance and consolidate core clinical and counseling skills for entry level independent practice in Health Service Psychology; and (2) Foster attitudes and behaviors which strengthen a professional identity as a psychologist.
By the end of the training year, fellows will develop a level of competence, consistent with the following Profession Wide Competencies (PWC), for independent entry-level practice in health service psychology:
a. Ethical and Legal Standards
b. Individual and Cultural Diversity
c. Professional Values, Attitudes, and Behaviors
d. Communication and Interpersonal Skills
e. Assessment
f. Intervention
USF CAPS POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN HEALTH SERVICE PSYCHOLOGY 6
g. Supervision
h. Consultation and Interprofessional/Interdisciplinary Skills
i. Research
In addition, CAPS Program Specific Competencies in Outreach and Crisis Response will be accomplished.
The Post Doctoral Fellow will also choose one of the following specialty areas during their fellowship:
Outreach Focus Area: This specialty area is designed to offer the postdoctoral fellow an opportunity to develop and enhance their skills in coordinating, developing, and delivering outreach. The fellow will work with the Assistant Director of Outreach to create and provide a combination of activities designed to expand skills and serve the needs of the USF community. The postdoctoral fellow may act as a liaison to one or more campus communities to develop ongoing outreach programming, assist with planning and coordination of CAPS programs for national mental health events, analyze data to enhance outreach endeavors, and co-facilitate the Outreach Seminar for interns and practicum trainees.
Training Administration Focus Area: This specialty area provides the postdoctoral fellow with an opportunity to develop skills in the administration, management, and evaluation of a practicum training program. An emphasis will be placed on curriculum development, didactic presentations, and recruitment and selection processes. In addition, the fellow will participate in intern and postdoctoral selection processes and assist the training director in activities related to accreditation.

Training Program Activities
COVID-19 Update
Per San Francisco and University of San Francisco COVID safety recommendations, training program activities were conducted remotely for the Fall 2022 semester and clinical services will transition to a hybrid model (remote and in-person) for Spring 2023. Fellows currently have a hybrid schedule providing clinical services remotely from their homes (teletherapy) and from the CAPS office in accordance with the laws and regulations of the California Board of Psychology The number of hours devoted to weekly training remains unchanged, and fellows are currently receiving the required number of supervision hours through telesupervision and participating in seminars and trainings through videoconferencing. Re-evaluation will occur for the Fall 2023 semester in line with regulations of the San Francisco Department of Public Health, the
USF CAPS POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN HEALTH SERVICE PSYCHOLOGY 8
State of California, and University policies. All CAPS training cohorts are required to reside in California while providing clinical services, receiving supervision, and participating in the training program. All staff must reside in a geographic location where they can commute to campus.
The Post Doctoral Fellow participates in several weekly structured training activities that support the CAPS training goals. They receive specialized training in and provide: Intake evaluation and disposition planning, triage evaluation, brief individual psychotherapy, single-session therapy, group psychotherapy, crisis intervention, outreach, consultation, supervision, and utilization of University and community resources and referrals. Post docs are expected to manage a large and diverse caseload of clients within an active therapeutic environment
Supervision
Individual Supervision - Fellows receive 2 hours of individual supervision on a weekly basis. One hour of weekly face-to-face supervision is provided by the Primary Supervisor who monitors the overall clinical and professional development and individual caseload throughout the training year. Specific goals are developed collaboratively by the Primary Supervisor and Fellow to supplement the general goals of the fellowship and provide an individualized learning experience. An additional hour of individual weekly supervision is provided by another licensed staff psychologist who functions as the Delegated Supervisor. There are opportunities to change delegated supervisors during the summer semester to broaden the training experience. Fellows have the opportunity to receive additional supervision from the licensed staff psychologist functioning as their co-therapist for any group psychotherapy.
USF CAPS POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN HEALTH SERVICE PSYCHOLOGY 9
Group Supervision - Fellows participate in two and a half hours of weekly Group Supervision. During one of the meetings, fellows present cases on a rotating basis for consultation and discussion. The additional 1.5 hours of group supervision is devoted to supervision of supervision.
Case Conference – Post Doctoral Fellows participate in the weekly one-hour Staff Case Conference, where all clinical staff present cases for group feedback and discussion.
Educational Staff Meeting – Post Doctoral Fellows participate in a weekly one-hour meeting with the entire clinical staff to address clinical issues, center procedures and policies, and increase effective response to needs of clients and the University at large.
Didactic In-Service Seminar/Continuing Education Workshops – CAPS Senior Staff and guest speakers from the community present topics relevant to the acquisition of assessment and psychotherapy skills in a university setting, grounded in evidencedbased practices and legal and ethical guidelines. Based on their individual training needs, Post Doctoral Fellows participate in selected sessions of the seminar. Additionally, they participate in Continuing Education workshops with Senior Staff sponsored by USF-CAPS (APA approved sponsor). University, departmental, and regional University-based trainings/programs are also attended.
Intercultural Seminar-In addition to the aforementioned trainings, Post Doctoral Fellows participate in a weekly one-hour seminar during which they are provided with a forum to explore a variety of intercultural issues relevant to the practice of psychology. This seminar utilizes a variety of training modalities including: staff/guest speaker presentations, readings, films, and group discussion of case material and professional
USF CAPS POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN HEALTH SERVICE PSYCHOLOGY 10
development. The purpose of this seminar is to integrate intercultural issues in an ongoing manner, while continuously striving for competence in assessment, case formulation, and the delivery of psychotherapy services to a diverse college campus community. Participants examine how their own cultural beliefs and values impact interactions with one another and their clients.
Summer Professional Development Seminar – Exposure to career options in psychology (through interactions with psychologists in the greater professional community), further understanding of the licensing process, and an emphasis on networking within the professional community and involvement in professional organizations are covered during this seminar.
Professional Presentations- Post Doctoral fellows develop and provide scholarly presentations at CAPS, incorporating theory and evidence-based practice, relevant to their work during the Didactic In-Service Seminar and facilitate discussions on multicultural issues during the Intercultural Seminar. Post Doctoral fellows provide didactic presentations for practicum in-service training. Finally, they present a multicultural case presentation incorporating scholarly inquiry and clinical practice. Multicultural Film and Media Series (Summer)-Interns and Post Doctoral Fellows collaboratively develop a list of shows, movies, documentaries, and other media representative of various aspects of intersecting identities. Facilitated by Post Doctoral Fellows, discussion of salient themes follows each media screening and draws upon individual and cultural diversity shared throughout the training year.
Direct Service - CAPS provides assistance to students seeking psychotherapy for a wide range of presenting concerns from developmental and situational issues to
USF CAPS POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN HEALTH SERVICE PSYCHOLOGY 11
significant clinical concerns. We work within a session-limited approach and make an assessment at triage and/or intake regarding the appropriateness of a brief therapy approach versus referral for longer-term or more specialized work.
Triage Assessment and Disposition Planning Phone based triage assessment of mental health needs, determine fit for CAPS scope of services, and provision of campus and community referrals.
Intake Assessment and Disposition Planning– Intake assessment interviewing; interview-based evaluation of presenting problem and differential diagnosis; evaluation of motivation for treatment and disposition planning.
Individual Psychotherapy – Focus on brief, time-limited integrative therapy with a maximum of 12 sessions per client (over the course of the Fall and Spring semesters) with an option of continued therapy if client is enrolled in the summer semester.
Individual clients are not regularly seen on a weekly basis.
Single Session Therapy (SST) - Clients are seen for one planned session focused on a goal of their choosing with implementation of specific strategies and provision of resources.
CAPS Workshops- Facilitate workshops on a number of mental health related topics.
Group Counseling/Psychotherapy – Both structured-thematic and process-oriented groups are offered each semester. Fellows are encouraged to serve as co-therapists in ongoing CAPS groups, or to initiate a new group relevant to the needs of the USF student population. There are no client session limits on the number of groups attended. Anticipated groups include Understanding Self and Others, Re-Claiming Self:
USF CAPS POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN HEALTH SERVICE PSYCHOLOGY 12
ACOA support, LGBTQIA+ support, Wise Mind DBT Skills Group, Black Mental Health Matters, International Student Support, and ACT for Anxiety and Depression.

Rotation in after-hours on-call duties including staff consultation with Public Safety, Office of Community Living (OCL) and other University representatives; and provision of referrals. Fellows consult with a licensed staff supervisor in crisis situations involving potential harm to self or others.
Brief Assessment Instruments – Routine administration of the Counseling Center Assessment of Psychological Symptoms (CCAPS-34) to clients throughout the course of therapy. The CCAPS is supplemented by other brief assessment instruments (e.g., Beck Depression and Anxiety Inventories, Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), and the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26), as relevant to the evaluation and treatment of the client.
Consultation and Collaboration Activities - Provide consultations to staff, faculty, and other University representatives; parents and family members; and students regarding mental health issues and CAPS services. Provision of appropriate on and off-campus referrals, discussion of rationale, and follow-up; establish professional relationships with other University and community colleagues; liaison to Residence Director in Office of Community Living (OCL).
Supervision- Post Doctoral Fellows provide one hour of individual supervision to an advanced practicum student on a weekly basis. The Post-Doctoral Fellow and a licensed Staff Psychologist make up the “supervision team” and monitor the overall
USF CAPS POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN HEALTH SERVICE PSYCHOLOGY 13
clinical and professional development of the practicum student throughout the training year. Specific goals are developed collaboratively by the supervision team and practicum student to supplement the general goals of the traineeship and provide an individualized learning experience.
Peer Consultation- Fellows facilitate a weekly meeting for the intern cohort providing consultation about clinical cases and mentorship associated with professional development issues.
Outreach Activities - Provide preventive/educational services and/or developmental programs to serve the needs of the larger USF community, promote social justice, and celebrate diversities in all its forms. Outreach has traditionally included training student, staff, and faculty on mental health related topics; conducting educational programs; developing and implementing passive programming; serving as an affiliate of a student organization such as a culturally-focused student club, or other academic and/or service-oriented organizations. Fellows are expected to deliver various types of outreach activities and develop their outreach goals in order to individualize their training experience.
