If you’re currently contemplating therapy, choosing the right therapist can make all the difference in your healing journey. One option you might not have considered is working with a licensed state intern therapist. In the latter stages of their training, these professionals provide a unique blend of fresh academic knowledge and supervised practical experience, making them an excellent choice when seeking effective, empathetic care.
Kayenta Therapy accepts graduate-level students into its internship program, where they work with individuals, couples, and families of all ages with various issues and backgrounds. Our state intern therapy program provides valuable clinical experience for forward-looking mental health professionals while offering affordable and high-quality therapy services to the community.
If you’re on the fence about whether a licensed state intern is the best choice of therapist for your needs, consider these benefits:
Licensed state interns are often equipped with the latest therapeutic practices and theories. As they’re still completing their education, they’re exposed to the newest research and techniques, which they bring directly into their practice. People who prefer a more contemporary approach to mental healthcare often find working with an intern more enjoyable.
Therapy sessions with interns are generally more affordable than those with fully licensed therapists. This makes therapy more accessible to a broader range of individuals, ensuring financial constraints don’t hinder the pursuit of mental health support.
Interns work under the close supervision of experienced licensed psychologists or counselors, ensuring the therapeutic services provided meet professional standards. For clients, this translates into receiving double the expertise, as their therapy is influenced by both the intern and the supervisor.
Interns bring a fresh perspective to the field of therapy. Their enthusiasm for applying their knowledge in the “real world” can enhance the therapeutic experience. They’re also often highly motivated to make a positive impact, which clients can find inspiring.
Licensed state intern therapists at Kayenta offer counseling and support for people of all ages, including teletherapy, ensuring the therapy you receive is relevant, beneficial, and rewarding.
