"This internship was exactly what I needed to bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world practice. The hands-on approach made every day exciting and meaningful. I loved how we worked directly on tasks like case conceptualizations and therapy simulations while also learning the operational side of private practice. By the end of the 30 days, I felt confident enough to take the first steps toward starting my own practice. The mentors were incredibly supportive and gave personalized feedback that helped me improve every step of the way!"
