Internship Program Training

Our Internship Program offers counselor training through live observation of clients who are being counseled in our Colorado Springs Colorado office.   In an adjacent room, the counseling sessions are viewed on tv monitors and listened using headphones.

This method of training has proven very effective since those observing actual cases can learn from specific problems the clients struggle with.  Every intern is required to sign a confidentiality statement.

Pre-requisites for the internship program: viewing the Identifying & Resolving Spiritual Issues series and completing the accompanying Workbook.

Requirements to complete the program: 1) observe the counseling of 10 cases; and 2) write a summary paper on each case observed (an outline for the paper will be provided).

The Internship Program is available during weeks that counseling is taking place in our office.  This Program is flexible in nature-cases need not be viewed during consecutive weeks. Involvement in the program is by application.  To request an application and further information, please email us at [email protected]. Intern room capacity is 8 persons per counseling session.
