Mental Health Therapy Interns

We are proud to offer services with our clinical mental health interns, Gretchen (Art Therapy and Counseling student) and Jessica (Clinical Mental Health Counseling student). Working with an intern can be a meaningful and accessible way to begin therapy while still receiving high-quality, closely supported care.

Full individual bios for Gretchen and Jessica will be available soon.

  • Interns can accept clients using UPHP and BCBS. Clients may also choose not to use insurance and instead use our discounted self-pay sliding scale based on financial need, ranging from $20–$50 per session.

  • Our interns are closely supervised by Amy Rynn, LPC, as well as their respective graduate programs. Because they are in training:

    • Sessions may be recorded for supervision purposes

    • A supervisor may occasionally sit in on sessions

    • Clinical material may be used for educational assignments

    Any of these situations will always be discussed in advance, and informed consent will be obtained from the client (or guardian if under age 18) before proceeding.

  • Clients working with our clinical mental health interns can receive support with a wide range of concerns, including:

    • Anxiety and stress management

    • Depression and low mood

    • Life transitions and adjustment challenges

    • Grief and loss

    • Self-esteem and identity exploration

    • Emotional regulation and coping skills

    • Relationship and communication skills

    • School, work, or academic stress

    • Social skills and peer concerns (especially for teens)

    • Mindfulness and grounding strategies

    • Processing past experiences in a supportive, paced way

    • Building healthy routines and self-care practices

    Our interns are best suited for clients seeking support with mild to moderate concerns and who feel comfortable working with a closely supervised clinician in training. If a client’s needs fall outside the intern scope, we will help match them with a fully licensed therapist on our team.
