Mental Health Counseling Intern

We are excited to participate in a practicum/internship program for the continuing education and field experience of future mental health counselors. We offer various programs commensurate with the student’s education level and previous counseling experience. 

New Beginnings Fresh Start (NBFSCG) interns can expect to receive a challenging and educational internship experience. The experience, under supervision, will be commensurate with the intern’s level of education and prior counseling experience. At NBFSCG, we have noticed that the demand for counselors is high, but area agencies are unable to hire graduates due to the counseling experience requirement not being met prior to hiring. Therefore, it is our intent that NBFSCG interns spend one year developing and growing as a counselor by implementing educational practices (counseling techniques, application of theory, therapeutic alliance, and relational skills) in a therapeutic setting with NBFSCG clients. It is our belief that your experience as an intern will develop a foundation to prepare you for counseling to work with various populations in traditional and non-traditional settings. Your practicum/intern experience will be helpful in transitioning from student-counselor to professional. 

It is anticipated that through the practicum/internship experience each student will develop and demonstrate an integration of counseling skills, learn about case management and ethical and legal conduct. 

All NBFSCG employees are committed to the development of others and supports the training of future mental health professionals. Each employee stands by the philosophy that ‘everyone wants to love and be loved’. Therefore, whether you come to NBFSCG with no experience, minimal counseling experience or a different professional background…you have something to offer that can help people to give and receive the love they want and need and to experience healthier, happier, and loving relationships.
