Undergraduate students – Summer Internship Opportunity
We are on the lookout for fun, motivated college students (or graduates) who want to be a part of our paid internship program. This internship will give you firsthand experience of how a psychology practice works.
While we accept all applications, a typical candidate is a psychology major in an undergrad program.
What to expect as an intern:
Expect to have fun. From the minute you walk into our building you can tell it’s not your average office. You’ll see games everywhere, movie posters on the walls, and a play room with a guitar on the ceiling. We take our fun just as seriously as we take our work.
Expect to learn a lot. You’ll get an inside look at a real, live, private practice. You will be surrounded by clinicians who are experts in their fields and would be happy to share their hard-earned knowledge with you. There will also be regular intern meetings where clinicians will focus on subjects like grad school prep or subfields in psychology.
Expect to make connections. The more you put into this internship, the more you will get out of it. There will be opportunities to work with clinicians individually on special projects or research. For example, if you’re interested in eating disorders – we can team you up with clinicians who specialize in that field, so you get the most out of your internship.
Expect to get tasks. Typical intern tasks include researching topics, informal lit reviews, creating worksheets, creating presentations, database entry, project collaboration with clinicians, and more. So, expect to get pretty good with the photocopier, but also expect to get stimulating and challenging tasks that will require your input and own ideas.
Expect to attend staff meetings. We meet as a staff every Wednesday during lunch. The meetings are open to interns and can be a really cool opportunity to get a behind the scenes look at what goes on in a private practice.
If you think you would be a good fit for our internship program, we encourage you to apply!
Applications are accepted each year in the months of January and February.
