Benefits of our Student Intern Program
Fresh Perspectives & Up-to-Date Training
Interns are actively learning and applying the latest research-based techniques in family therapy, bringing new ideas and approaches to their sessions.
Smaller Caseloads = More Attention
Because interns typically have fewer clients, they can dedicate more time and effort to each case, often offering greater responsiveness and individualized care.High Levels of Supervision & Support
Interns receive close guidance from experienced, licensed therapists who oversee their work, ensuring that clients receive effective and ethical care.Collaborative & Strength-Based Approach
Many interns are trained with a systemic, client-centered perspective and are eager to engage families in collaborative problem-solving and strength-based techniques.Increased Accessibility to Services – Families who might otherwise be on long waitlists for licensed therapists can often start therapy sooner with an intern.
