Partner & Student Feedback
"Frank was a great supervisor. He provided me with a lot of skills and knowledge. It was very helpful to have a supervisor who graduated and completed their full internship more recently because he provided a sense of security and was very open to any questions I had, not just about clients at the site but questions I had about applications, exams, and postgraduate things I did not really have anyone else to ask besides him. He was not scared of telling me things I could work on and things I was doing well on, and I really appreciate that because that is how I like to learn and get better."
"Mr. Roch Spalka as very helpful in guiding me in my conducting therapy sessions. He was very accommodating and very knowledgeable in all aspects of therapy. He gave us tips and educational materials to enhance our knowledge about the modality or the therapy techniques I am using. I learned a lot and am ready for the next steps."
“We enjoy partnering with you guys! As partners, you have been very open to feedback and to working as a team to improve the process.”
"Leslie was compassionate yet challenging. She recognized my strengths and we discussed what type of feedback would be most beneficial to me and proceeded to do just that. She brought in videos to help me understand theory and skills."
“The interns' eagerness and willingness to earn has been wonderful.”
"The site was very supportive. All the staff was appreciative of UNR interns being there and making us feel welcome. I worked closely with one staff member who ensured my clients were present by making reminder phone calls and making a client list to ensure we completed our hours. My supervisor provided invaluable services. Her bilingual skills as well as her compassion and challenging way made me a better therapist. She was awesome."
“[The supervisors]have been amazing to work with. We appreciate the knowledge and expertise they offer."
“The CBHC is absolutely amazing. It is a huge asset to our community."
