Training Program

Goals

We established Grace Counseling’s internship program to meet the following primary goals:

  • To offer professional clinical training for students. Also allowing students to have a diverse experience in order to prepare for licensure and the workforce.
  • To then provide high quality reduced fee counseling services to the community.

Students see a diverse population of clients. Of course these range from various diagnoses, developmental stages, ethnic/racial backgrounds, religious/faith backgrounds, and/or socioeconomic status. Also, students state their preference of the types of clientele they want more training with and training director will try to help meet student’s needs.
