Hi,
I am debating completing another therapy practicum this year prior to applying for internship in the fall and am wondering if it is necessary, as I definitely want to continue with neuropsych practicums. At this time, I have 161 intervention hours with 56 for therapy, 24 for group, and the rest for milieu/crisis intervention and intake interviews. My individual therapy hours are low as I only had 2 clients and worked in a school where sessions were generally 30-40 mins rather than a full hour. By May, I should have 180 or so hours due to intakes (and this should continue to increase I will have intakes at other testing practicums). I'm wondering if this is sufficient for a neuropsychology focused internship (most likely a pediatric one) or if I should apply for additional therapy practicums now to gain more hours?
Thanks for your help in advance!
