Our Former Interns Say

These former interns were hired after graduation and are full-time therapists at our clinic. The resources our clinic invests in intern professional development is a benefit to all of their future employers – including us!

Hannah Baker, MSW, LGSW

Graduated Internship 2025

I saw in real time how this model can assist people in working towards a life worth living. This opportunity was a great chance to learn a therapeutic model, put clinical skills into practice, and learn how to complete necessary tasks that any learning therapist could use in the future.

Luke Morken, MA

Graduated Internship 2024

Learning DBT gave me a great basis of therapeutic skills that I will bring with me, no matter what population or clinical setting I find myself in my career.

Dani Calcagno, MA, LPCC

Graduated Internship 2023

Internship gave me confidence in my abilities to complete documentation, address safety concerns, improve group facilitation skills, and deepen my understanding of conceptualizing with a DBT, trauma-informed lens and support clients to effectively cope with a variety of symptoms and situations.

Erica Dhakal, MS, LPCC

Graduated Internship 2020

As an intern, I found a passion for helping clients learn to understand and accept themselves and the complexity of the human experience, by finding the synthesis of pain and healing to work towards their life worth living goals.
