Internship Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like to be an intern at Conifer Counseling?

We strive to give our interns a balance of independence and support, making it as “real life” as we can for you. You'll operate like the rest of us, seeing clients, managing case files, documenting with compliance, etc., while being guided by your supervisor and supported by the rest of our team of clinicians.

How will my supervisor support me?

Your supervisor will be there to help answer any questions that you may have in regard to your journey as a student therapist. You will receive weekly one on one supervision, with the opportunity for monthly group supervision with your peers. Our supervisors are passionate about mentoring the next generation of clinicians, and hope to support you in any way they can.

Will I have flexibility as a student intern?

Absolutely! We aim to make your experience as comparable to being a practicing clinician as possible. You’ll reflect regularly with your supervisor regarding input for when you see clients, what types of clients you see, what modalities you use; plus, you can find a balance between virtual and in-person sessions that works for you!
