LIBR/LPCH Clinical Psychology Internship

​Northeastern Oklahoma Psychology Internship Program (NOPIP) at LIBR/LPCH

Picture
Clinical psychology internships are a one-year experience completed by clinical psychology doctoral students as a required part of their training. Students who are eligible apply and are matched to programs via the APPIC match process. Laureate currently provides one full-time APA-accredited clinical psychology internship position as part of the Northeastern Oklahoma Psychology Internship Program (NOPIP). The intern will obtain experiences within the Laureate Psychiatric Clinic and Hospital (LPCH) and the Laureate Institute for Brain Research (LIBR). The intern works with their supervisor to identify clinical and research experiences most relevant to their training goals; some of the experiences available are summarized below. Salary for the 2024-2025 year is $38,000 for the one-year internship. For questions about the internship, please contact Dr. Aupperle.

About LPCH and LIBR

Laureate Psychiatric Clinic and Hospital (LPCH) is a private, not-for-profit psychiatric facility that is affiliated with the Saint Francis Health System. The Saint Francis Health System also includes four medical-surgical hospitals and over 450 primary care and specialty physician practices. Laureate provides mental health treatment services for adults and seniors across the full continuum of care. Substance abuse treatment is provided for adults. 
​

The Laureate Institute for Brain Research (LIBR) opened in 2009 and currently houses a multidisciplinary team of scientists and clinical research staff who apply neuroimaging, genetic, pharmacological and neuropsychological tools to investigate the biology and treatments of neuropsychiatric disorders. 

Clinical Activities

Clinical activities are obtained through LPCH clinical units and through LIBR Clinical Research.
​
  • Potential options for LPCH clinical experience include the Adult Behavioral Health Units, the Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Unit, Drug and Alcohol Addiction Intensive Outpatient Unit, and/or the Eating Disorders Program​.  These clinical experiences involve working as part of multidisciplinary teams on the unit to deliver treatment within both individual and group formats, as well as to conducted diagnostic and integrated assessments to guide treatment.

  • Clinical activities at LIBR will involve experience with Research Interventions, focused on conducting empirically-supported, manualized interventions for adults and/or adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, and/or substance use (e.g., exposure-based therapy, behavioral activation, positive affect focused treatment, cognitive processing therapy, cognitive rehabilitation approaches). There are additional opportunities for Research Assessment, including administering structured psychosocial history and diagnostic interviews and brief neuropsychological assessment batteries as part of ongoing research studies.

Additional Opportunities

  • LIBR/LPCH: Interns are invited to participate in staff development and continuing education programs. LPCH programs include all day workshops, training seminars, and monthly case conferences. Interns are also invited to attend the monthly “William K. Warren, Jr. Frontiers in Neuroscience” and the quarterly “Diversity in Mental Health and Neuroscience” Lecture Series hosted by LIBR.

  • NOPIP: All interns will attend a weekly group supervision and didactic series with the other clinical interns within NOPIP. These didactics focus on a wide variety of clinical and professional development topics, including empirically-supported treatment implementation, considerations with special populations, ethical and cultural considerations in therapy, finding and applying for postdoctoral and/or job positions, and numerous other topics.

Research Activities

A minimum of 8 hours per week are reserved for research-related activities during this one-year internship. Research activities may involve conducting literature reviews, data analysis, and preparing results for conference presentation or publication. These activities would be tailored to the interests of the intern through collaboration with supervisors and mentors. Interns will be encouraged to submit their research for conference presentation and/or publication. Research mentors may include the NOPIP supervisors listed below and/or other investigators at LIBR, identified based on the intern’s interests.

There are a number of different completed and ongoing research projects that interns can focus on for their research training and experience. These options include data from longitudinal and clinical outcome studies focused on depression, anxiety, or substance use, and utilizing multiple levels of assessments, including self-report, behavior, bioassays, neurofeedback, and neuroimaging (using functional magnetic resonance imaging and electroencephalography). 

More specific information on some of the completed or ongoing studies are provided below:
​
  • Neuroscience of Psychotherapy: Dr. Aupperle leads several studies examining neurobehavioral decision-making indices as predictors of therapy outcome for depression and anxiety (e.g., exposure-based therapy, behavioral activation), as well as examining the clinical benefit of novel interventions (e.g., positive affect and cognitive rehabilitation focused interventions) and fMRI-based neurofeedback approaches.

  • Tulsa 1000: A collaborative project conducted at LIBR and led by Dr. Paulus, the Tulsa 1000 was a longitudinal observational study of 1000 treatment-seeking individuals with mental health problems across the categories of mood, anxiety, eating, and substance use disorders that included multi-level assessment (bioassay, neuroimaging, behavioral, self-report).

  • Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD): The ABCD study is a large multi-site, longitudinal study following 9-10-year-old children over a 10-year period. LIBR is a site within this consortium, led by Co-PIs Drs. Paulus and Aupperle.

  • NIGMS-funded Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (CoBRE) study focused on Neuroscience-Based Mental Health Assessment and Prediction (NeuroMAP): NeuroMAP aims to provide (a) scientific, (b) operational, and (c) educational infrastructure for innovative neuroscience-based research to generate clinically meaningful predictions of risk and outcomes for mood, anxiety, and eating disorders.

  • Mental health disparities in American Indian populations: Dr. White leads a research program utilizing community engaged research methodologies and focusing on strengths-based frameworks to delineate neurocognitive mechanisms of protective effects of traditional cultural engagement.

LIBR's Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

The LIBR Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Initiative was established with the goals of deepening our understanding of mental health disparities, improving generalizability of our research findings to our communities of focus, and enhancing the quality of science by increasing representation in the field by individuals from historically marginalized communities.

As committee members dedicated to supporting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, we recognize that, historically, research was conducted in a way that was deeply painful to marginalized groups, and the impact of systemic and structural biases on mental health are too often ignored or underestimated. We recognize that although there has been much improvement in how science is conducted, there is still much work needed to enhance our understanding and appreciation of factors related to diversity. We hold that there is no “finish line” to reach, rather the goal for the Diversity Initiative at LIBR is to continually work toward making science a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive space to conduct research that is positively impactful for the communities with whom we work.
​

For our NOPIP internship, we extend our dedication to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to not only better understanding the unique factors that contribute to mental health across diverse groups and individuals, but also to consider how we can use this understanding to improve the mental health services we currently provide.

For more information, please visit the LIBR DEI Initiative.
