Counseling interns receive training and support in providing counseling from a feminist-relational perspective. Counseling interns provide individual, partners, and group counseling services.   

Counseling at CWHC is provided from a feminist-relational perspective, and the values of client self-determination and empowerment are seen as an integral part of the therapeutic relationship.

Students must be available on Fridays from 9am-12:30pm for trainings and supervision.

Internships are open to second-year Master's social work, counseling, or clinical mental health students with relevant experiences such as: direct service provision, crisis hotline work, community organizing, case-management, or other advocacy work. Applicants will demonstrate critical self-reflexivity and humility. Prior experience with trans and gender non-conforming / gender-expansive / queer folks, and Black, Indigenous, and people of color communities is preferred.
