Clinical Intern FAQ:

-
No. We are only able to accommodate master’s-level interns.
-
No. For continuity of care, interns must commit to at least one full school year.
-
Our interns function as independent therapists, managing their own caseloads, intakes, scheduling, treatment planning, and documentation. Interns should complete their first practicum in a setting with more direct support before joining Banyan for their final two semesters.
-
Interns will work with a diverse range of ages, demographics, and presenting concerns. Those who are interested may also see couples and families.
-
Interviews are held each February for the following school year, with decisions made by March 1st. This timeline allows enough time for both university and Banyan onboarding before the internship start date.
-
Prospective interns must contact Clinical Director Jamie Cullen (jcullen@banyantreecounseling.com) by January of the year the internship begins. Example: For a Fall 2027 placement, you must reach out no later than January 2027.
