INTERNS
I am excited to accept student counselors on my team! Student volunteers are one of the ways that I am able to reach a broader portion of the community! I am excited to accept student counselors for practicum or internhsip work online. As a student counselor you will have flexible hours, work on your own schedule, and have the opportunity to see a variety of clients to build skills in different areas.
If you are interested in applying to complete your student professional experience with my team, please email a resume and cover letter to
providerservices@lycancounseli
PLEASE NOTE: At this time all student positions are volunteer only.
PLEASE NOTE: My practice and interns opperate 100% online due to serving areas all over Washington State. Some programs insist that CACREP requires in person student experience. This is no longer true. Please confirm with your school if their program requires in person experience outside of the CACREP standards. Feel free to pass on these resources demonstrating that CACREP standards do not support this requirement.
