Internship Program

DBT-PTSD Specialists work closely with academic programs to provide training to students in counseling psychology, clinical psychology and social work. 

Our internship rotations typically begin in September and have varied tracks.  Students may apply for a 6-month placement at 20 hours per week or 9-month for 16 hours per week; this can be adjusted based on your program criteria. Students are expected to be onsite during their scheduled time with the expectation of one evening per week.

Student placement will be at one of two locations: Elk River or Plymouth, depending on the need. There may be occasions that student may need to be on site additional days to accommodate training needs, or interests.
