Quotes from Previous Trainees:

My internship experience has been excellent. I am grateful for the many opportunities to co-facilitate group therapy and workshops, have regular case consultation time with several colleagues and supervisors, professional development opportunities, and mostly a warm/welcoming and supportive environment.
