Our interns do not have a ‘case load’ necessarily. They typically see no more than 3-4 students in individual counseling sessions per 8-hour day. 

Interns are offered a minimum of 1 hour of individual, and 1.5 hour of group supervision per week. Additional supervision is available as needed per requirements of program, or as additional support.

• Initial on-boarding training includes two days prior to the start of the Fall quarter on processes and procedures.
• On-going monthly trainings from outside professionals on various modalities/topics related to the field of mental health.
• Various lectures, workshops, webinars offered either on 17³Ô¹Ï campus, or via other collaborations throughout the year.

• Interns may see individual students in session, typically no more than 4 sessions per 8-hour day.

The Mental Health & Wellness Center is open 8-5 M-Th and 8-3 Fridays.  

Although this is preferred, we honor and recognize that the internship by design is a place to learn. If a candidate has a strong clinical sense, and desire to learn, they are considered a possible candidate. 

We only accept second year graduate students in a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling program [LMFT or LPCC track]. Unfortunately, we are not able to supervise MSW or LCSW track students at this time.
