Our intern program allows clients to access affordable therapy services while supporting the growth of future clinicians.

Interns are carefully selected from top graduate programs and undergo a thorough orientation process. They receive ongoing training in clinical assessments, evidence-based treatments (CBT, DBT, ACT), and our practice’s core values of client-centered care and ethical practice.
Supervision & Oversight
Each intern works under the close supervision of licensed clinicians, with weekly individual and group supervision to ensure high-quality care and clinical accuracy.

We maintain strict confidentiality. Interns only access client details after a consultation is booked, and they are not listed on our website to protect privacy. All interactions remain under supervision until the treatment plan is finalized.
Ongoing Support
Interns are continuously supported with case consultations, documentation reviews, and team collaboration to enhance their therapeutic skills and professional development.
Client Care
Interns work with children, teens, young adults, and families to address anxiety, ADHD, trauma, OCD, stress, and eating disorders. Sessions are offered at a reduced rate, while ensuring high standards of care through supervision and support.
