Investing in yourself is the best way to invest in your clients

Interns serve 8–10 hours per week during practicum and 12–15 hours per week during internship, with at least four of those hours on a weekend and four during evenings.

You’ll also attend two monthly program trainings, a monthly skills meeting, our annual February training event, and two marriage intensives per year.

Yes. We’re intentional about how many interns we accept, and we have strong community referral sources that have consistently allowed us to provide interns with the hours they need to meet graduation requirements.

This is dependent upon the intern also giving enough availability for us to fill them with clients, as well as the interns skill in being able to keep the clients.

Interns receive two hours of supervision with Lindsey Castleman every other week. Her approach is direct and supportive, with a strong focus on case conceptualization, skill development, and person-of-the-therapist work. Her clinical training includes EFT, IFS, and other attachment-based models.

We approach counseling through a Christian worldview, creating space for clients to integrate their faith into the therapeutic process when they desire. We believe God is foundational to health, healing, and wholeness — and we partner with Fellowship Bible Church, aligning with their mission and vision. Our clinical work is evidence-based, ethical, and always client-led.

Warm, collaborative, and intentional. Our team stays connected through Slack throughout the week, consults regularly, and refers to one another often. We also make time to actually enjoy each other — through workout challenges, team hangs, and other moments that remind us we’re not in this alone.

We are committed to preparing interns for the realities of clinical practice. As part of your training experience, indirect hours will include both professional development and contributions to the functioning of the counseling center. These responsibilities may include:

• Maintaining the counseling center environment, including ensuring shared spaces are clean and welcoming (e.g., disposing of food, organizing common areas, wiping countertops, and tidying the fridge, microwave, and bathroom).

• Resetting after sessions, including cleaning dishes used by clients and refilling water and coffee supplies.

• Disinfecting any anxiety/stress relief tools or play therapy materials after each use.

• Coordinating meals for program trainings (twice monthly), including ordering, picking up, and setting up food.

• Monitoring inventory of snacks, coffee, and office supplies; restocking and ordering as needed.

• Assisting with the organization and display of informational slides in the waiting area for clients.

• Supporting the setup and facilitation of the Created for Connection workshop (offered twice per year).

• Assisting in the planning and execution of the annual February church/counseling center event.

• Attending all program trainings (twice monthly).

• Participating in the monthly skills meeting with the intern coordinator.

• Serving in additional volunteer capacities within the church as needs arise.

These responsibilities are designed to provide a well-rounded experience and help you develop both clinical and professional skills in a real-world setting.
