Let's talk about what people usually get wrong about seeing an intern.
Myth: they're inexperienced. Truth: by the time an intern sits across from a client, they've completed years of graduate coursework and supervised training. This is a deliberate next step toward licensure, not a first exposure to clinical work.
Myth: no one's checking their work. Truth: every session is supervised by a licensed clinician β weekly supervision, case consultation, and a direct line to their supervisor when needed.
Myth: you're basically a practice case. Truth: the care is real and individualized, often more thorough β supervision means two clinical minds on your treatment, not just one.
Myth: interns can't handle serious issues. Truth: our interns train in the same trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches our licensed team uses, supervised by clinicians who specialize in exactly those issues.
Myth: it's a downgrade from "real" therapy. Truth: same clinical rigor, more accessible rate. The reduced fee reflects training status, not quality of care.
Working with an intern means high-quality, compassionate care for you β and supporting the next generation of therapists while you're at it.
