Master's Student Internship

Are you looking for a master’s student internship within a large and thriving group private practice? We offer an unparalleled opportunity for professional advancement and training. If you desire an encouraging yet challenging learning environment to grow and develop your clinical skill, you’ve found the right place.

We are often asked what type of student excels within our program. Students who are positive, humble, and eager to learn are among those who find success through FTAJ’s internship program. In addition, those who are able to accept and implement feedback excel within our environment.

Students who embody the FTAJ core values of integrity, work ethic, flexibility, loyalty, accountability, and excellence fit well within our team and culture.

What You Can Expect:

Unparalleled Support

To enhance your clinical development, we offer an unparalleled collaborative and supportive environment. Unlike many other sites, every week we invest hours and hours of time and energy into our students. We ensure you are well trained before you ever see your first client, and that you can confidently help your clients accomplish their clinical goals throughout treatment.

Each week, you are provided clinical supervision from a licensed supervisor, followed by coaching from a licensed therapist to help you further develop your counseling skills. If you need more support, other team members are ready and willing to meet with you to help you succeed. You also have access to a vast online training and resource library.

Vast Clinical Experience

As part of your internship, you’ll have the opportunity to work with couples, individuals, and families. You’ll learn how to treat a variety of clinical issues, such as anxiety, depression, physical and emotional intimacy, communication, conflict, addiction, work/life balance, self esteem, and infidelity.

We recognize that as a student, you are learning and developing as a clinician – and we are willing to meet you where you are and provide developmentally appropriate feedback and support. In addition, everyone learns differently. As such, you’ll receive feedback and coaching in a variety of ways. We utilize examples, role plays, group skill sessions, and provide feedback that’s written, verbal and data-driven.

Ongoing Opportunities

We spend countless hours investing in our master’s student interns. As a result, we believe students who complete our internship program are among the most well-trained graduating students in the industry.

It’s our desire to hire, train, and promote from within. While we can’t guarantee employment after graduation, many of our students who complete our internships are offered an opportunity to continue their career with FTAJ as a registered intern and beyond. We offer ongoing opportunities for career development, as well as mentorship and coaching to encourage personal and professional growth. Or, if you continue your career elsewhere, we are happy to provide clinical guidance and suggestions for your personalized career path.
