Job description

Our clinical training program is open to current graduate and PhD level students seeking a degree in counseling, psychology, or clinical social work. Please thoroughly review the attached Clinical Practicum/Internship Projects document with our intern expectations, projects, and application process before submitting your documents.
Under the supervision of a licensed therapist, clinical student intern will provide professional individual, group, and/or families/couples counseling regarding a variety of life issues and behavioral health conditions in an atmosphere that is safe and affirming toward LGBTQ+ individuals and persons living with HIV/AIDS. Intern will also complete psychosocial intake evaluations, attend weekly group and individual supervision, and complete assigned clinical development projects, including a clinical theory presentation and case consultation presentation.
Before you apply, you should know:
  • A minimum of 8 consecutive months (or 2 consecutive semesters) is required given the extensive training process for interns; you must be enrolled in school during both semesters.
    • Fall-Spring cohort runs August through May
    • Spring-Summer cohort runs January through August
    • Summer-Fall cohort runs May through December
  • Students are expected to continue seeing clients over extended breaks/between semesters (or arrange for clients to be seen) for continuity of care.
  • Two (2) evenings per week and a minimum of 16 hours per week is expected. A flexible schedule allows more availability and opportunities to work with clients. No weekend or late evening hours allowed the first semester (done by 8:30 p.m.)
  • There is a mandatory week of training before your classes begin, and it is only offered three times per year - generally the week before semester classes begin in January, May/June, and August.
  • Since interns regularly conduct intake assessments and utilize their DSM-5 diagnostic skills, a working knowledge of the DSM-5 is expected, and completion of a DSM-5/diagnostic class is required prior to starting internship.
  • Previous clients of the Center must have terminated services at least 2 years prior to starting internship position.
  • Accepted applicants will be required to complete a drug screening prior to starting, and are required to be COVID-vaccinated.
  • Bilingual interns are always an asset!

Application Process:
  • Applications are now accepted year-round, but we will only review applications during the timelines indicated below:
    • Summer-Fall cohort - Applications are accepted through March. Interviews and selections are made in late March/early April.
      • Summer-Fall 2026 cohort interns have already been selected.
    • Fall-Spring cohort - Applications are accepted through March. Interviews and selections are made in late March/early April.
      • Fall 2026-Spring 2027 cohort interns have already been selected.
    • Spring-Summer cohort - Applications are accepted through October, then interviews and selections made by late October/early November.
  • Applicants should submit a cover letter indicating your interest in working with the LGBTQ+ community as an intern at the Montrose Center and a focus on development of clinical counseling skills, as well as a resume or curriculum vitae (CV) that includes clinical classwork you have completed.
  • Submit all documents through the BambooHR portal on the Montrose Center website.
  • Once we review applications, we will invite selected students for interviews. Interviews are 30 minutes in length and are conducted by a panel of agency clinicians and intern supervisors.
  • The interview panel will provide feedback on the interns they feel are the best fit for the agency, and we will make offers to the student directly. If your school has a match process, then accepting this offer will mean that we submit your name for the match process, rather than moving to the next person on the list.
