Dear Intern Applicant,

Thank you for your interest in the doctoral internship at the Texas Tech University Student Counseling Center. We are committed to the development of emerging professionals in psychology and are dedicated to making the intern training year a valuable and unforgettable experience for our interns. We really enjoy and value training, and all members of the professional staff are a part of intern training. We offer several training rotations such as sexual trauma, eating disorders, couples therapy, diversity, men and masculinity, and supervision. Furthermore, experience with group therapy and outreach are also parts of our intern training. Please take some time to view the pictures of our center as we are fortunate to have exceptional facilities. Some may have questions about our west Texas location. Lubbock has a lot to offer such as a unique variety of restaurants, great live music, high quality performances, a low cost of living, and easy commutes. The campus is beautiful and hosts many different events such as plays, concerts, cultural events, and sports. There are also many exciting day trip locations including two nearby canyons that both offer hiking and horseback riding. If you have any questions or concerns as you navigate the application and interview process, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Marie Moerkbak, Ph.D.
Associate Director of Training
