This internship has been a fantastic learning opportunity. I loved working with the clients at Amethyst which is a treatment and recovery program for women. My supervisor was extremely accessible and answered all of my questions. I facilitated a weekly mental health group therapy session and observed at least 12 hours per wk of other session.
What I wish was different
I would have liked to have been able to observe more assessments, but COVID made that difficult.
Advice
Advocate for yourself. If there is something you want to learn about, ask how you can get the experience.
