I am very honored to be a part of the IMHC team. I have enjoyed learning about all of the different programs that they offer. Everyone is patient and take the time to help you grow as a therapist.

Interning at IMHC has been a great experience. I have been able to learn so much about being a good counselor. I have been able to get all of my hours and see clients of all different demographics. There is a lot of freedom in what kind of therapeutic interventions we are able to use with clients. This has allowed me to discover my true passions. The team at IMHC is very kind and helpful when I need guidance. It is a great place to intern!
