We are looking for someone who embraces trauma-informed and harm-reduction approaches, values cultural humility, welcomes feedback, and believes recovery is a collaborative and individualized journey. Candidates with prior practicum experience are preferred, and a genuine interest in working with individuals experiencing co-occurring mental health and substance use challenges is essential.

This internship runs from January 2027 through August 2027 and offers a flexible schedule of 16-20 hours per week , Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. This is a fully onsite opportunity that provides immersive clinical training and meaningful client engagement.
