Internship Opportunities
Please note, We are no longer accepting internship applications for the 2024-25 school year.
We take our internship training program at Walnut Psychotherapy Center very seriously. Every intern is matched with a supervisor and is placed in a group supervision, with at least two hours of supervision every week. We specifically train in a long term model of therapy, trying to build a caseload that will last students the duration of the internship.
The central modalities we train in are psychodynamic theory, with a focus on relational theory, and queer theory. We review these theories early in the year and revisit them through multiple training opportunities. In addition to supervision, we offer biweekly trainings on issues ranging from non-carceral means of treating suicidality to queering the intake process. We select between 2-4 interns a year. Our goal is to support the development of new clinicians as they enter into the field and to help them cultivate a keen eye towards critical thought, anti-racism and an ability to practice in a way that centers marginalized psyches.
