How to Snag Competitive Counseling Internships
(+ Tips on Securing a Full-Time Job Quickly!)
As a graduate student, finding counseling internships can feel overwhelming and confusing (we know, we’ve been there). Graduate students in counseling master’s programs need help navigating the complicated process of choosing mental health internships and succeeding beyond these roles.
Why Is It So Hard and Confusing?
It’s hard to know where to start or what the process even looks like. Decoding CACREP accreditation standards could make you want to give up altogether — and let’s not get started on trying to wrap your head around clinical hour requirements all on your own!
You want to make sure you choose the right internship for you, but you might not know where to find the best mental health internships or how to evaluate potential opportunities. Without clear guidelines, it’s easy to make a mistake or overlook a critical detail that could cost you the most desired counseling internships. That’s where our webinar series can help – fill out the form now!
Why This Knowledge Is So Important
“I had an intern who obtained a license in her field. Once she realized that most insurance companies did not recognize the license she struggled with getting a job. Because she did not understand the limits to her license, she experienced a stressful situation that could have been avoided. This is not a knock against graduate programs but this webinar will fill in the gaps and provide insight to research.” – Charlie Simpson, LPC, LMFT
