It is the goal of the Ashe Counseling Internship Program to train its interns to become competent, ethical, and confident clinicians. We provide experience and supervision that allow interns to thrive, and gain the knowledge and tools that empower them to adapt to an ever-changing industry.

The Internship Program is an integral part of our community of learning and quality improvement. Our internships help bridge the gap between the academic and working world by providing real world experience to interns through supervised training and service delivery.

The activities of the internship are designed to teach and develop professional competence through didactic instruction, modeling, experience, case discussion, and supervision.

The internship emphasizes the provision of service to culturally diverse communities, as well as the treatment of underserved populations. Clinical internships hours are based on the academic program requirements . During the course of clinical internships, interns are expected to grow their knowledge and practice of clinical skills including  psychosocial assessments, differential diagnosis, treatment planning, and evidenced-based interventions. All of these areas of clinical practice require a sensitivity to cultural, legal, and ethical factors.
