Here at Grace Therapy & Wellness Center, we believe in providing an educationally and financially supportive environment for interns. We pay our interns a stipend for educational expenses that they may incur throughout their internship. Our Clinicians see clients for a lower fee or through Molina, BCBS PPO, BCBS Community HMO, Meridian Health Medicaid, and BCBS Community Medicaid. These interns participate in writing, social media, and marketing, and answer our intake line. These students help us in our mission of providing affordable therapy to anyone who wants it.
our internship program is a 501c3 nonprofit
Therapy is for everyone.
Internship Stipend
We believe that people have a right to feel safe, accepted, and understood. Our identities are valid, and we validate the identities of others. We are always striving to grow and learn more about the different ways that others identify. In this space, we de-center whiteness and work every day to decolonize our practice and disrupt white supremacy, capitalism, and the patriarchy.
Client Therapy Fund
We are life-long learners who believe that the learning process never stops. We value sharing knowledge within the practice and community. Our practice offers consultation and supervision groups, a white accountability group, paid self-care time to POC, and the chance for all of us to learn and grow through our mistakes.
Nonprofit Interns
Internship program applications open for Fall 2026.
