Internship is a rite of passage for ALL helping & medical professions. Our interns are graduate students currently enrolled in accredited programs including Counseling, Rehabilitation Counseling, or Social Work around the country including Colorado Springs. Interns have finished—or are about to finish—all required coursework from their graduate programs and are working towards completing internship hours so they can pursue licensure in a mental health field.

Interns are graduate students in training who are working toward licensure, whereas licensed therapists have already completed their internship hours and passed required exams. At Burning Sage Therapy, interns provide therapy under close supervision, ensuring high-quality care while gaining hands-on experience.

Interns receive required weekly clinical supervision from our licensed Clinical Intern Supervisors. Supervisors are specially trained, fully licensed therapists. Additionally, interns are under the supervision of professors in their graduate programs. Everything discussed between an intern and supervisor remains confidential; you can be assured of your privacy.

Working with a Clinical Student Intern is like being able to work with multiple Burning Sage providers simultaneously! Interns attend regular consultations with members of our clinical staff, receiving feedback from peers about their work with individual clients. This collaboration allows exposure to many different therapeutic styles & techniques, which translates to YOU having a provider who is able to meet your concerns from a variety of professional, clinical lenses!

Interns are still students, which means that the latest clinical research is woven into their graduate curricula, beneficially informing their direct work with you during therapy sessions.
