Internships Available

The internship program at The Center for Relational Change offers internships to current master’s level students interested in gaining experience providing individual, group, family, and couple/marriage therapy. Interns will work to create their own caseload by offering therapy at a reduced fee to potential clients, sit in on cases with experienced therapists, participate as a co-therapist, work with their own client(s), as well as create and facilitate their own group(s). Interns obtain experience working within a group practice while also gaining necessary clinical hours, supervision and mentorship.

The goal of our internship program is to assist interns to achieve the competency level expected at their current level of training and to prepare them for more advanced training. At the Center for Relational Change, we believe the achievement of competently trained therapists means more than theoretical or interventional knowledge. It means that the individuals have acquired an appreciation and respect for diversity in our society, an understanding of how stigmatization and prejudice manifest and affect the individual and society, an understanding of who they are as people and therapists, a value on the centrality of relationships, and how all of this impacts treatment.
