Testimonials:

From Rachel Morris, UA graduate and pervious Assistant to Dr. Thomas Brunner 

My time in this role has without a doubt taught me more than any previous position. As Dr. Brunner’s assistant, you get to see and assist with the behind the scenes work of psychological assessments. This experience is one of a kind and will give you phenomenal insight into the work of a clinical and forensic psychologist, while simultaneously teaching you the operations needed to run your own successful business. Working as Dr. Brunner’s assistant has helped me in developing my professional skill set tremendously for optimal efficiency and productivity. Dr. Brunner is an incredible mentor. He is supportive, understanding, and always has the best interests of his employees and clients in mind. I will always value the experience that I have gained throughout this position, and am grateful for the networking opportunities I have found through it, as I prepare for my future career.

From Grace Weigel, UA graduate and previous Assistant to Dr. Thomas Brunner

Working as an assistant to Dr. Brunner has been an amazing opportunity. By being immersed in the daily operations of an innovative psychology practice, I gained real-world insight into the field of psychology. In this position I was able to refine my professionalism and organizational skills as well as further develop my ability to navigate tasks with precision and independence. The accommodating nature of this position has allowed me to manage my academic responsibilities and graduate school applications while working part-time. Dr. Brunner’s excellent mentorship has provided me with a fulfilling job experience that has helped prepare me for my future career. 

From Kayleigh Cook, UA graduate and previous Assistant to Dr. Thomas Brunner 

Being the administrative assistant for Dr. Brunner was the perfect transition out of my undergraduate career. This position gave me the amazing opportunity to hone my administrative, communication and organizational skills, all of which are necessary for success in most jobs, but especially when you are going into a career in research and academia. Dr. Brunner has been supportive and flexible when needed, and he understands that his assistant has many responsibilities outside of the office. He also has allowed me to give my creative input on a wide variety of office systems, which has allowed me to help things run more smoothly while gaining experience with different software and programs. This experience has undoubtedly been what will separate me from other candidates moving forward in my career

From Elsa Bautista, UA graduate and previous Assistant to Dr. Thomas Brunner 

As a past assistant, I wanted to share my experience working for Dr. Brunner and his family. Dr. Brunner treated me with the utmost kindness and respect throughout my time with his practice. I had the pleasure of interacting and building relationships with clients and their families. I learned the intricacies of a Clinical and Forensics Psychologist office. I was able to see how the knowledge I learned inside of my psychology courses related to psychological practice. 

Dr. Brunner was extremely understanding during my college career, thus enabling me to complete a double major and double minor all while still working part time. Dr. Brunner became a great mentor to me and his vast connections in the Tucson community helped me propel my own career aspirations forward. I worked alongside Dr. Brunner for nearly two years before finally graduating from the University of Arizona. Since graduation Dr Brunner has remained an invaluable mentor.

More than 100 positions are available. Positions are available for undergraduate students, postbaccalaureate students, and graduate students.

The Summer Treatment Program (STP) provides services to children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Conduct Disorder, Oppositional-Defiant Disorder, learning problems, and related behavior problems. By participating in the STP, students will:

• Learn evidence-based techniques for working with children who have disruptive behavior disorders

• Help children to improve their social skills, sports skills, and academic skills

• Network with faculty members at the Center for Children and Families, as well as students from across the country.

Positions are available in programs serving children in Pre-K through 6^th grade. Children and counselors are assigned to groups of four or five counselors and 10 to 15 children of similar age. Children participate in a variety of classroom-based and recreational activities. Staff members implement an extensive behavior modification treatment program that includes feedback and associated consequences for positive and negative behaviors, daily and weekly rewards for appropriate behavior, social praise and attention, appropriate commands, and age-appropriate removal from positive reinforcement.

Counselors deliver the treatment components during daily sports-based recreational periods in which children practice and play soccer, baseball/softball, and basketball. Counselors plan and conduct skill drills, provide appropriate coaching, model appropriate sports skills, and encourage and reinforce effort, sportsmanship, leadership, and teamwork. Counselors also assist with daily social skills training sessions, conduct problem solving discussions, and assist with the implementation of daily report cards and individualized treatment programs.
