Internships

Marlena enjoyed working at HHCI because the staff and clinicians were warm and welcoming. The organization has provided her with an incredible opportunity to put the clinical social work skills she is currently studying into practice. HHCI has given Marlena a chance to grow in her learning as a clinician while also providing the financial support that is much needed as a graduate student. Marlena hopes to one day open her own clinical practice set in a garden to meet both mental health and food insecurity needs of clients.

Ryan enjoyed working at HHCI because he was able to grow professionally and learn from encouraging staff and clinicians. After graduation, Ryan plans on working for an adolescent and young adult treatment program in a hospital or residential setting.

For me, I wanted to work at HHCI because of the free services it offers clients, the experience I knew I would get here, and DBT experience and knowledge. I strongly believe in affordable and accessible mental health care. I also wanted to work at HHCI because it was one of the few internship sites that offers individual therapy experience as well as facilitating a support group. I hope to work in a clinical setting, continue my work as a clinician, and accrue hours to get my LCSW after graduation.
