Psychology Intern Program

Inner Garden Psychology offers practicum and training opportunities for graduate-level psychology students who are interested in developing strong clinical skills within a supportive environment.

Our training model emphasizes:

• Thoughtful, reflective practice

• An integrative approach in terms of therapeutic orientation and an openness to incorporate techniques from various approaches

• Close supervision and mentorship

• A balance of structure and flexibility in clinical work

• Respectful, collaborative relationships with clients

• Strong grounding in ethics and professional standards

Student clinicians can expect:

• Regular individual and group supervision

• Opportunities to work with adults with mild to moderate concerns

• Support with case formulation, treatment planning, and intervention skills

• A clinic culture that values care, humility, curiosity, and growth
  

We recognize that practicum requirements vary across programs and developmental stage. In response to students’ differing needs and professional goals, we offer flexible practicum structures, which may include:

• Full practicum (for students seeking the majority of their hours within one setting)

• Half practicum (for students wishing to divide their training across different settings, for example, between intervention and formal assessment)

• Supplementary practicum (for students primarily seeking training elsewhere who would like to deepen their experience in psychotherapy and intervention)

These options allow students to tailor their training experience based on their program requirements, areas of interest, and long-term career goals.

If you are a student interested in training opportunities, please review our Psychology Intern Program Guide for more information about our practicums and the process to apply.
