Clinical Interns – Graduate Level
DCAC provides a unique and valuable training experience for students majoring in psychology, social work, counseling, and related disciplines. We welcome master level students to work under the supervision of our licensed mental health professionals. Masters students provide assessments and therapeutic services to children age 0-18 and their families, who have been exposed to potentially traumatizing experiences such as abuse, neglect, and violence.
Our internships are designed to enhance the student’s knowledge of current, researched-based interventions; refinement of clinical skills; treatment planning and case conceptualization; and the fostering of their professional identity.
