Approximately 30 applicants will be selected for Zoom interviews. We will not be offering in-person interviews. Video interviews will be approximately 50 minutes with a team that includes senior staff members and interns. After being notified of an interview, candidates must select their preferred interview date and time. Interviews are scheduled in early January and in some cases late December.

Interns may devote three hours per week to develop and/or be exposed to an area of special emphasis, based on their training interests. These activities may fall under two broad areas: clinical activities and non-clinical activities. Clinical activities are defined as providing direct services to clients (such as but not limited to: working with trauma clients, couples, veterans, eating disorder clients, etc.).
Non-clinical activities include program development and evaluation, participation in counseling center research, and counseling center administration. Developing an area of special emphasis is not a required activity of this internship program.
