Other Functions: Additionally, interns may be assigned to clients for couples counseling and sex therapy. We will help to train interns. The intern may have an opportunity to participate in public speaking and writing blog posts. Because of the nature of our work, I anticipate that a significant amount of time would be spent with assigned reading, videos, etc to increase understanding of sexuality, attachment, and relationships.
Tasks/Assignments for intern: This is a work in progress, but we anticipate that the intern will be responsible for contacting potential patients, doing telephone consults to help match with clinicians and/or refer to other practices, network with other clinicians to keep our referrals up to date, contact patients on the waiting list, look for resources for current patients, see individual clients and couples, do treatment planning, assess patients, do assigned reading to improve skills, attend staff meetings, write blog posts, and attend networking events.
Ideal student description: The ideal student has an interest in relationships, attachment, and sexuality. They do not need to have a lot of prior knowledge - interest in learning will be enough. Our ideal intern would also be open to seeing some patients outside of office hours (evenings and/or weekends).
Pay/stipend offered?: No
