💕 Why Choose Our Interns?
- Reduced Rate: We believe that mental health support should be accessable to as many people as possible. Our reduced rates make counseling more affordable, so you can prioritize your well-being without breaking the bank.
- Quality Care and Individualized Attention: Our interns take a very limited number of clients so that they can devote sufficient time and attention to each person they see. In addition, between sessions they receive supervision and guidance on the work they are doing with you.
- Fresh Perspectives: Working with an intern can bring new perspectives and approaches to your counseling journey. Their training and education are up-to-date with the latest developments in the mental health field.
- Confidentiality: Just like with our licensed professionals, your sessions with our interns are strictly confidential.
