Intern Program

At Healthy Minds Therapy, we’re committed to making quality mental health care accessible and affordable. Our counseling intern program provides clients with the opportunity to receive therapy at a reduced rate, while helping to train the next generation of compassionate clinicians.

What You Can Expect

  • Affordable Rates: Initial intake sessions are just $30, and ongoing sessions are only $25 each.

  • Supervised Training: All counseling interns work under the close supervision of a licensed PhD-level clinician to ensure high-quality care and professional growth.

  • Supportive Care: Interns provide therapy for a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and more.

  • Direct Pay Services: Please note, intern sessions are offered on a direct pay basis only and are not billed to insurance.

Why Choose an Intern Therapist?

  • Affordable access to therapy when cost may otherwise be a barrier.

  • Fresh perspectives from clinicians-in-training who are up-to-date on the latest evidence-based practices.

  • Collaborative supervision, meaning your care is guided by both the intern and their licensed supervisor.
