Internship Opportunities
Thank you for your interest in our agency. We do we accept interns who are completing their masters program at our site and integrate them into our treatment programs. The Life Link only accepts students who are studying counseling and not social work.
Requirements:
-
We prefer to accept interns who are in their second placement.
-
We provide individual supervision primarily by an LPCC therefore your educational institution would need to accept this license for on-site supervision.
-
A Life Link intern begins by shadowing one of our two intensive outpatient program groups. They will gradually move toward independent facilitation with a licensed clinician present in the group. Our substance use IOP takes place M/W/F 9am-12pm. This intern is asked to conduct breathalyzers for those clients who are attending the group in person. The program also has an additional weekly team meeting that is 1.5 hours that the intern will attend. Additionally, interns participate in our weekly group Treatment Team meeting with the rest of the clinical staff on Wednesdays @ 1pm.
In the later portion of the internship, the intern will be able to provide individual counseling to a small number of consumers.
