Program Description

Our program is designed to provide a thorough professional training experience within an active service-oriented agency. While interns are involved in a broad variety of clinical activities, the foundation of our program is a genuine commitment to intensive supervision and furthering the intern's personal and professional growth. We also seek to develop skills in outreach / education, foster a trauma-sensitive approach to therapy, and increase interns understanding of group dynamics. As a staff, we try to model solid professional practice, while demonstrating sensitivity, dedication, and a sincere commitment to each intern's development. Special attention is paid to an intern's individual needs and preferences, and meeting each person at their growing edges as they transition into this professional role.
