Christian Tech Internship Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Internship Program Description

Cornerstone Christian Counseling offers counseling for individuals, couples, families, adolescents, and children. Cornerstone holds to a Christian worldview, which matters because what a counselor believes impacts the way they counsel. In addition, we strive for clinical excellence. We believe that God has given us the ability to study and implement clinical practices that have been proven to be effective in helping people heal, grow, and thrive.

Our team consists of licensed candidates and fully licensed mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, student practicum/interns, and an incredibly robust administrative support team. Our ultimate goal is to take care of all the business-related details to free you up to do what you're most excited about seeing clients.

Our internship program is for current master's level students who are seeking a degree in mental health counseling or marriage and family therapy through a CACREP-accredited program, and who need to obtain clinical hours for graduation and future licensure. Internships are available at our six Colorado offices, though our internship slots are limited each semester.

• Castle Rock, CO

Students can see clients in person from any of these office locations, depending on office availability. Student interns may also see a portion of their clients via tele-therapy if they have a private and professional space within their home/residence.

Cornerstone offers unpaid practicum and internship opportunities at three different start dates throughout the year: the fall (August), spring (January), and summer (May) semesters.
