Here’s a secret: when you work with one of our graduate interns, you actually get two therapists for the price of one. Interns meet weekly (and often more) with licensed supervisors to review cases, brainstorm strategies, and ensure you’re getting thoughtful, personalized care. It’s like having a behind-the-scenes think tank dedicated to your well-being. The result? Support that’s collaborative, creative, and grounded in the latest clinical research.

Ever wondered what a graduate-level mental health intern really is?

They’re master’s or doctoral students completing the final step before becoming licensed therapists — working directly with clients under close supervision.
They bring fresh perspectives, cutting-edge training, and a lot of passion to their work.
When you meet one of our interns, you’re meeting a future therapist who’s deeply committed to your growth.

This week, we’ll introduce you to our incredible intern team. Stay tuned!
