Jeremy Sharp, Ph.D.
CCAC Primary Supervisor
I am a licensed psychologist practicing in Fort Collins, Colorado. I graduated with a PhD in Counseling Psychology from Colorado State University in August 2008. Most of my clinical time prior to starting my practice occurred in university counseling centers, but I also spent a couple of years working with older adults in extended care facilities and in elementary school classrooms for children with Autism and emotional disturbances. I also spent two years as a psychometrist under a Clinical Neuropsychologist.
More personally, I grew up in South Carolina before finding my home in Fort Collins over twenty years ago. You may find me running or biking around town in the warmer months or spending time in the mountains when it’s colder. I enjoy cooking with my wife, laughing (and crying) with our two almost-teenagers, and taking our dog on hikes through the foothills. I also host The Testing Psychologist, a consulting service and podcast aimed at helping psychologists and other mental health professionals add or grow psychological assessment services in their practices.
Intern Experience
The intern experience will primarily include psychological/neuropsychological evaluation of children (child track) and adults (adult track) using best practice standards for assessment. Interns will have the opportunity to develop and hone their assessment and writing skills with two complete evaluations per week.
Interns placed at CCAC will also engage in individual psychotherapy with children and families (child track), and adults (adult track) utilizing evidence-based practices. Interns will maintain a caseload of 3-5 individual clients per week. Supervisors are skilled in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
Interns will also have the option to participate in CCAC's workshop program, which offers psychoeducational workshops on topics like adult ADHD and parenting skills.
Interns will participate in staff meetings and coordinate care with local providers, including physicians, school staff, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, psychiatrists, and other mental health practitioners.
