Elevated Solution's Clinical Intern Process:
At Elevated Solutions Therapy, our clinical interns are master’s-level students from accredited mental health counseling programs who receive extensive training and supervision to provide compassionate, effective care. Our intern program allows clients to access affordable therapy services while supporting the growth of future clinicians.
​
1. Selection & Training
Interns are carefully selected from top graduate programs and undergo a thorough orientation process. They receive ongoing training in clinical assessments, evidence-based treatments (CBT, DBT, ACT), and our practice’s core values of client-centered care and ethical practice.
​
2. Supervision & Oversight
Each intern works under the close supervision of licensed clinicians, with weekly individual and group supervision to ensure high-quality care and clinical accuracy.
​
3. Confidentiality
We maintain strict confidentiality regarding your information. Interns only access client details once a consultation is booked, ensuring privacy and security throughout the process. Additionally, we do not post our interns on our website to protect their privacy and to ensure all client interactions are under direct supervision until the treatment plan is solidified.
​
4. Ongoing Support
Interns are continuously supported with case consultations, documentation reviews, and team collaboration to enhance their therapeutic skills and professional development.
​
5. Client Care
Interns work with children, teens, young adults, and families to address anxiety, ADHD, trauma, OCD, stress, and eating disorders. Sessions are offered at a reduced rate, while ensuring high standards of care through supervision and support.
