Are you passionate about making a difference? Our internship training program offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in clinical direct practice while specializing in LGBTQ+ and Neurodiversity Affirming care.

You'll have the chance to work with a small caseload of individual clients, co-facilitate group therapy sessions alongside our experienced clinical staff, participate in community outreach events, and engage in dynamic clinical staff meetings with a diverse team of professionals.

We embrace a supportive work environment that values different learning styles and cherishes the unique perspectives each team member brings. We firmly believe that our interns contribute valuable insights to our team discussions, alongside our licensed clinicians. Your voice will be heard as we explore innovative solutions to enhance community care, including addressing generational differences.

To ensure your dedication is recognized, each intern accepted into our training program will receive a stipend per individual session and group session completed. Spanish-speaking interns receive an additional stipend per service.
