students as part of Cohort XXVI
Ashley Powell
Jason Lawrence
Ashley received her B.S. in Psychology from Urbana
University in 2010. Most recently, in 2012, she
completed her M.S. in Clinical Psychology from
Morehead State University. While at Morehead State
University, for her graduate assistantship, she worked

worked at the Ohio State Penitentiary for her Master’s
practicum placement in 2011 and at Morehead State
University’s Counseling Center and a local community
mental health clinic for her Master’s internship in 2012.
Ashley has dedicated her prior research on attachment
theory and parent/child relationships. However, most
recently, she has become interested in the prison
systems and the lack of job placement for ex-felons.
She ultimately wants to be a practicing clinician
working in corrections and eventually teach at the
university level. Ashley is looking forward to further
developing her clinical skills and building professional
relationships while attending Cleveland State
University.
Jason received his B.A. in Psychology and his M.A. in
Clinical Psychology from Cleveland State University.
He currently works at a large outpatient private mental
health practice as an intake specialist, director of IT, and
training supervisor. Jason is a former licensed EMT and
had a brief career in federal law enforcement. He had a
Master’s internship at a state-funded group home agency
for adults with severe intellectual and developmental
disabilities. At this placement, he did assessments and
aided in the development of behavioral intervention
plans and psychological evaluations. His previous
research experience has been examining differences in
risk-taking in trauma survivors with and without PTSD.
Jason presented posters of his undergraduate research at
the 2009 ABCT annual convention and his graduate

Perspectives of Recent Graduates

2012 Graduate
When I think about my Ph.D. education experience, I think one of the
most positive aspects for me is my cohort. I had the privilege of working
with some wonderful individuals. We worked together as a team,
supporting each other with class work and comprehensive exams. I also
deeply appreciated the life experience and expertise my colleagues
brought to the group. I was able to take and apply their knowledge
while on practicums and internship. We also made time to have social
activities together and I feel I have made several life-long friends. I
also appreciate my experiences with my adviser and later dissertation
chair, Dr. Welfel. She was attentive and assisted me whenever I needed help. She helped
me successfully maneuver through the dissertation and APPIC experience and I am very appreciative of her time. I
also enjoyed my practicum experiences, especially at Northcoast Behavioral Healthcare.
I think if I could have changed one thing about my experience, I would have increased my involvement in projects
that would have added to my skills as a scientist. I would have liked to have been involved in more research and
publication. I would have also liked to have had a third practicum, because I feel this could have made me more
attractive to some internship sites I was looking at when I when through Match process.
I feel the Counseling Psychology program prepared me for internship and my career in several ways. I found our
program’s emphasis on diversity and advocacy particularly useful, since these are core values of counseling
psychology. I also appreciated receiving information about conferences seeking student posters and presentations.
These are helpful ways to gain experience as well as add to your vita. Over the years I’ve also noticed that our
program is developing relationships with several community partners and increasing practicum sites available to
students. I think this will continue to be a strength in the future.
My advice to incoming and current students: build relationships with your peers as well as develop professional
relationships in the field. You never know what opportunities may develop in the future! Second, try and complete
a third practicum. Although it may not be a requirement, I noticed many students participating in the APPIC
match process had several practicum experiences, so if you can get the extra experience now, it will only help you.
Third, get involved in as many research projects, publications, etc. as you can. It’s extra work, but it is worth it.
Last, try to defend your dissertation, if possible, before internship. Some internships are very demanding and as a
result it makes completing your dissertation even more challenging.
For me, I remember the big moments: learning I was accepted into the Counseling Psychology program,
successfully passing comprehensive exams, Match day, successfully defending my dissertation, and successfully
completing my internship. All of these were milestones.
I completed my predoctoral internship with the Ohio Psychology Internship – Forensic Track at Summit
Psychological Associates, Inc. on June 29, 2012. On July 23, 2012, I successfully defended my dissertation entitled
“Psychologist Self-Disclosure with Court-Mandated and Self-Referred Clients” and graduated from the program in
Summer 2012. I am currently working as a Health Psychology Fellow at Akron General Medical Center where
some of my primary responsibilities included evaluating potential bariatric surgery patients for any psychological
factors that may negatively impact long-term surgery success, hospital consultations, completing psychological
testing to assess for cognitive or psychological issues, providing individual counseling, facilitating a peer-support
group for Family Practitioner Medical Residents, and research. I am interested in understanding bariatric patients’
perspectives of what services/supports helped maintain long-term surgery success. I would ultimately like a career
working in a hospital or forensic setting.

The best advice I have for prospective or current students is to stay
focused on a few important goals. You can't do it all and finish in a
timely manner. So, decide what is most important to you, whether
that be more or specialized clinical experience, publications and
presentations, an ambitious dissertation, preparing for and setting
yourself up well for internship, etc, and focus most of your efforts on
that most important goal or two important goals. Your goals should be
directly related to your long-term goals. For me, getting through the
program on time was very important, which meant securing an APA
accredited internship and completing my dissertation on time. I chose
an ambitious dissertation project but kept my eye on the finish line and
did not deviate from my timeline. I was fortunate to have the support of
my advisor/chair throughout the process, which was very helpful. Utilize CNS 888 - that
helped me tremendously in preparing my dissertation proposal. Regarding applying for internship, I think the best
advice is to get really good testing practicum experience, get feedback from at least 2 faculty members on your essays,
include something in your personal statement that will make you stand out in a unique way, and apply to programs
that make sense, based on your experience and what you really want to do. Also, talk to people who have been
through the process. When you go for interviews, remember that your personality and how you come across is more
important than giving the "right" answer to the questions. You are talking to people who may potentially be your
supervisors -- they want to know that you will be enjoyable to work with, ethical, diligent, and willing to accept
feedback. Finally, apply for the CSU Dissertation Grant. You can get up top $5,000 toward your research costs and
almost everyone who applies is awarded the grant. Keep your eye on the application deadline and plan accordingly.
Currently I am employed as a Post-Doc Trainee at Bellefaire JCB in Shaker Heights, Ohio. I'm focusing my time on
psychological testing with children and adolescents who are referred through the outpatient, foster care, and residential
departments, and I do Juvenile Offenders Program (JOP) psychological evaluations for Lorain County Juvenile Court.
The title of my dissertation was "Effects of an Equine Assisted Activities Program on Youth with Emotional
Disturbance: A Pilot Study." I am interested in publishing my findings and pursuing contract/consulting/research
work in this area in the future. I'm currently studying for the EPPP and plan to be licensed under the new Ohio
licensing law, which allows practicum training hours to count toward the 3600 total hours needed.

Perspectives on Internship
Submitted by: Lindsay Varkula
Cohort XX
My internship journey began in July when I read sites’ program
descriptions on their websites. I made a spreadsheet containing
everything from the competitiveness of the site to my likes/dislikes
about the program. Because I function best in a warm, open,
supportive environment that is also very challenging, I identified sites
that met my needs. My partner and I identified cities where we would
live and where he could get a job, since we planned to relocate
together. I began working on my essays and my APPIC as soon as the
site opened.
Because my MA was not in counseling, I worked very hard to
highlight my work experiences that were supervised by licensed
psychologists (between my MA and the start of our program). I repeatedly noted this fact in
every one of the open boxes in the hours/experiences sections of the APPIC. My essays/CV required several drafts.
Between Dr. Welfel/Dr. Schultheiss and a mentor (the post-doc at my site during Prac I), I re-wrote my Personal
Statement at least 10 times. I also ended up crafting my CV so it included lots of rich detail about experiences and
some information about who I am as a person (some of my music stuff and other interests) because it wouldn’t fit in
my essays. I was stressed (understatement!) not only about the actual APPIC, but also about the prospect of “putting
myself on paper” and having it out there for sites to accept or reject. I submitted everything a few days before the
Nov. 1st deadline, applying exclusively to college counseling center sites in a variety of geographic locations. Then
the waiting began. I got several rejections before I got my first interview offers (so don’t flip out too much). I ended
up with five interviews, all of which had the option to go in-person. During two expensive and stressful weeks of
travel, I was VERY grateful to be able to meet people in person and see the sites. I prepared for the interviews weeks
before by creating another spreadsheet of the commonly asked interview questions and my responses for each site.
The day before/day of, I re-read website program descriptions and reviewed the university (stats, types of students,
mission statements, other departments, etc.) so I could ask some questions about the internship/counseling center
and some about the school. I created a list of questions to ask at each site and I made a “cheat sheet” with CC staff
names, information, and pictures which were always super helpful. Some of my interview experiences were
wonderful (I left two thinking “I love this site!”), two were good/okay, and one was not so good. I really used that
information the most when making my ranking decisions. I was fortunate to Match at the University of St. Thomas
College Counseling Center in St. Paul, Minnesota (one of my “I love this site!” locations). So far, my internship
experience has been phenomenal and I really believe that it was worth the work and the stress. I am pulling for all of
you; use me as a resource/support!

Interview with a Recent Graduate
Interview with Shondale Deloach, Ph.D.
2012 Graduate
- Looking back on your time at CSU, what did you like most about
your time in the Counseling Psychology program?
I enjoyed the relationships with my other cohort members and the
family feel that accompanied the cohort experience. Doctoral training
can be challenging, but having friends and colleagues along for the ride
made it much more doable and enjoyable for me.
- If you could have changed anything about your experience, what
would it be?
If I could change anything, I would have taken psychopharmacology. I
was fortunate to work at a VA during my doctoral training, so I picked up on much of the skills
and information I needed, but taking the course would have been helpful.
- How did the counseling psychology program prepare you for internship and professionally after graduating?
Our program and our core faculty are huge names in Counseling Psychology, and their commitment to the field and
to the public is extraordinary. I picked up on that commitment with regard to my focus area, which is individual
therapy and one of my most frequent pieces of feedback from supervisors and patients is that I seem to genuinely
care, simply put. The program has also prepared me for the field as it has moved to a medical model. I was prepared
for short term treatment needs at various agencies, the importance of fusing expectations into the therapeutic
alliance, regularly checking progress, etc. Our program knows the field and prepares students accordingly.
- What advice would you give to prospective or current students?
I would advise students not to limit themselves to one area of interest, but not to take on too many either. It's
important to allow your interests to develop organically, but it's equally important not to take on too much. I would
also advise students to work hard at securing practicum experiences that will benefit them in their future (internship,
dissertation, professional practice, etc.) I would also say it's important to start thinking about dissertation early
because papers that you write in the first 2-3 years can be part of your first chapters of your dissertation. Finally, I
would say, enjoy! Do not allow the amount of work to cloud the reality that each moment is your life.
- What accomplishment/s was/were most important to you?
Gaining entrance into the program and being in the first cohort in the Counseling Psychology specialization is most
important to me. It was also very cool that I landed my number one choice for internship at MSU.

on Conference Participation
FALL 2012
APA Division 17 Midwest Region: Great Lakes Conference
The Great Lakes conference is one of the most student-friendly conferences I have ever attended. It is a great
opportunity for those who have not presented before to get their feet wet, as well as to meet and network with other
students in our field. The highlight of this past year’s conference for me was spending time with the other students
from our program and meeting others from other programs as well.
-Kelly Martincin
The first conference that I attended, as a first year counseling psychology student, was the Great Lakes conference.
Initially, I will admit, I was very anxious given that I was quite uncertain about what to expect. However, the
conference turned out to be a phenomenal experience that I appreciate and am excited to relive next year. In
essence, it was the perfect icebreaker that I needed as a new student entering and navigating the culture of doctoral
education. There were a number of brilliant speakers that I absolutely enjoyed. In addition, I was very pleased to
meet student researchers from other programs, especially when I met a few that had very similar research interests
as me. Truthfully, one of the most interesting and fulfilling aspects of the conference was the ability to network with
other counseling psychology students. Although, I did not have the opportunity to volunteer or provide professional
service to assist with the conference, I expect that I will be much more involved when the conference is hosted by
our own institution. In all, attending the Great Lakes conference was a definite highlight for my first year as a new
counseling psychology doctoral student. As such, I would definitely recommend this conference to future students.
-Tiffany Williams
This was my second consecutive year returning to the Great Lakes Conference. In all, this is a wonderful
conference, given its rich history and its student-friendly reputation, deserving of the recommendation for all
counseling psychology students to attend at some point in their doctoral studies. I have had the opportunity to
present a poster as well as a symposium, which have greatly aided in my professional development. However, the
most notable aspect of the conference is the ability to network with other students as well as prominent scholars.
-Brittan Davis
National Career Development Association Conference
NCDA - The National Career Development Association conference in
Atlanta, GA was a wonderful opportunity to not only present our research,
but also to attend seminars and meet professionals in the field of vocational

presented the research from Dr. Stead's research team in a symposium
on unemployment with David Blustein. This conference is a wonderful
conference for students because people are very warm and welcoming, and
many big names in vocational psychology usually attend. It will be held in
Boston next June.
-Kelly Martincin
The NCDA conference provides an opportunity for paper and poster presentations
concentrating on areas related to work and career development. It is great to attend for those interested in this
concentration who would like to receive feedback about their work and also for networking purposes. Many wellknown names in the field attended this conference and being able to listen to them present original work was both
exciting and aw-inspiring. This year’s theme was “Building on the Dream.” I particularly enjoyed presenting as
part of a symposium with my fellow classmate and David Blustein. The city of Atlanta was especially great to be
in, as well, since it allowed great opportunities to experience history and other sorts of sightseeing.

FALL 2012
American Psychological Association’s Annual
Convention
After attending the APA conference this year, I reflect back on my first
experience as a student attendee. I had the unique opportunity to
attend the Society of Vocational Psychology executive board meeting
as a student representative on the board. Sitting in the room,
surrounded by prominent vocational psychologists in the field (yes,
you will cite all of them for COMPS!), I was eager and excited to be a
part of it. My first day was full of introductions, interesting
conversations, and “getting to know” other students, researchers,
psychologists and faculty! Some of the most helpful meetings included
discussing student involvement and engagement with other Student
Affiliates of Seventeen (SAS) and American Psychological Association
of Graduate Students (APAGS members). I also found it helpful (and
Basak Kacar-Khamush
maybe stressful!) to attend the seminar on pre-doctoral internship.
The facilitators provided helpful feedback and suggestions on how to write
interesting essays, how to choose sites, and what the match process is like for students.
–Sarah Michalos-Rispinto
This was my first time attending an APA convention, and I am so glad that I went to Orlando. I met so many
psychologists in various stages of their careers, and many of them were willing to offer great guidance and advice as
we talked. I also enjoyed volunteering for the Division 17 Hospitality Suite. I would highly recommend this as a
way to begin getting involved with the APA conventions—it’s a great way to meet people (other Ph.D. students and
psychologists), not to mention the free gifts of new textbooks from publishers. I came home with a whole box of
new books to expand my psychology library! The highlights of the conference for me were: volunteering; going to
the Women and Diversity talk; going to the Division 35, Section 1 (African-American Women) Hospitality
Luncheon; meeting with my Special Interest Group (SIG) on adoption issues; the Presidential Dinner; meeting
early-career African-American female psychologists; and having heartfelt moments speaking with Dr. Barry Chung
and Dr. Janet Helms (and yes, you guys know I cried while talking with them—couldn’t help it—which, thankfully,
was all the more endearing to them "). I was always so afraid to go to APA conventions because they are so BIG
(your feet will still hurt from walking to so many events, even with
wearing comfortable shoes). I must say, though, I am now planning to go
to the 2013 APA Convention in Hawaii, and I am so excited to become
part of the experience!
–Natale Badillo
Dr. Julia Phillips and Brittan Davis
at 2012 APA Convention
In reflecting on my first time attending the APA Convention, I am left
with some amazing memories as well as words of wisdom to pass on to
my fellow peers. I had the wonderful opportunity to present a
roundtable, which helped refine some of my current research questions in
addition to discussing ways in which counseling psychologists and school
psychologists can become better advocates for our LGBTQ youth within
our school systems. Presenting at APA, although nerve-racking, was an
incredible experience that furthered by academic growth. Therefore, I
would encourage my peers to submit proposals to upcoming APA
conventions. Additionally, I chose to volunteer in Division 17’s
Hospitality Suite, which posed as a phenomenal opportunity to network
with other students in counseling psychology as well as distinguished
faculty, scholars, and practitioners. Thus, whether you are going to
present or just merely to attend, I would recommend getting involved
through volunteering for Division 17 and any other divisions to which you
belong.

International Student Perspective

Submitted by: Sneha Pitre
Cohort XXV
Hi, I am Sneha Pitre, a second year doctoral student in the Counseling
Psychology program. Being an international student, I thought I would
be faced many challenges and that my life would be difficult. But my
faculty, staff and peers at CSU have made the process of change from
India to the U.S.A. very smooth and easy. The faculty and staff at CSU
have been very supportive and encouraging, as they have offered me
support, mentorship, and guidance. Furthermore, I found my faculty
and peers to show reciprocity in the learning process. More
specifically, it was evident that my peers and faculty were as eager to
learn from me and the different perspectives that I brought with me as
an international student as I was eager to learn about their experiences
and the many cultures of the U.S. Aside from the pleasurable sharing
of cultures, I was encouraged by my peers and my professors, Dr.
Schultheiss and Dr. Welfel, to attend the Midwest regional counseling psychology conference, The Great
Lakes Conference at Purdue University during my first year in the program. Attending this conference in the
first year was an indispensable experience since it gave me confidence in my academic capabilities studying
in the U.S., but since it is a student-run conference, it was done so in a nonthreatening environment. I
presented a poster on coping of Indian-American parents after their children were identified as having special
needs. The conference was a great stage to meet faculty and experts in the field of psychology and to interact
with students from other universities. Furthermore, I have been invited by faculty, as well as, my peers to join
two different research teams that are helping me improve my investigative skills. Finally, I am doing my first
practicum at University Hospitals Child & Adolescent Psychiatric Unit. This training site is helping me grow
as a practitioner as I am counseling new populations. In sum, I have learned a great deal from my faculty,
staff, and peers in the program, and I feel confident that they have learned from me as well. I have felt
incredibly supported in the program through the compassionate and encouraging nature of the faculty and the
students in the program. For these reasons, and many more that I am not able to list here due to the brevity of
this section, I am glad to be a part of the counseling psychology program at Cleveland State University.
Announcement:
Cleveland State University is scheduled
to host the APA Division 17 Midwest
Region: Great Lakes Conference in
2014!

“Making My Future Work”
Principal Investigator: Justin Perry, Ph.D.
Funding Amount: $1,006,023
Funding Source: U.S. Department of
Education/Institute of Education Sciences
As the profession continues to evolve, counseling psychology is entering a new era of interdisciplinary research that
focuses on using interventions and basic research to solve and prevent problems in the real world. Much of my
research agenda (applied and basic) seeks to use the tools of research as a means to serve the needs of the public
good, particularly in areas of urban education. Currently, I am serving on 8 external grants totaling to $5,281,472.
These grants are awarded from federal agencies (NSF, IES), stage agencies (Ohio Board of Regents) and
foundations (e.g., Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Ohio, The Cleveland Foundation), ranging from healthcare
workforce diversification to college and career readiness to STEM education and educational technology. Among
these grants is the partnership developed with NEOMED to build and pilot test a community-based training
program in inter-professional health care. The Education for Service Initiative is designed to educate up to 35 students
per year through the Post Baccalaureate/M.D. and Baccalaureate/M.D. paths, which begins at CSU and is
followed by medical school education with NEOMED College of Medicine. I also continue to serve as the Project
Director of a 3-year IES grant, which is currently being implemented and evaluated across six urban high schools in
the Cleveland metropolitan area. The program, Making My Future Work, will affect approximately 800 students this
year. Many things are happening at CSU. My dual roles as a faculty member and a director of a research center are
but one aspect of a much broader and deeper scale of engagement that CSU has timely forged with the community,
industry, institutional partners, and the region as a whole.
