Great Lakes Current Sites

Internship training is carried out in a variety of affiliated member training sites.

The Great Lakes Region of NPTC is composed of six member sites within Indiana. Four County Counseling Center in Logansport, Indiana hosts NPTC’s monthly didactic training for interns within the Great Lakes Region as well as the regional supervisor orientation each summer. Due to location, monthly didactics will require travel on the part of the intern depending on site placement. All of the sites within the consortium employ multiple doctoral-level licensed psychologists, ensuring opportunities for primary supervision by at least two on-site doctoral-level licensed psychologists.

For more information about each of these locations, please see their individual pages.
