We are hiring kind and motivated practicum and internship students to join our practice.
We are looking for individuals who have a passion for counseling and enjoy working in a collaborative and cohesive team environment. If you want to be surrounded by clinicians who are dedicated to their work and personal growth, then Aspiring Minds Psychological Services, LLC. is the place for you!
We have built a team of highly specialized counselors whose areas of expertise include: addictions, play therapy, adolescents, young adults, anxiety, depression, autism, ADHD, chronic illness, couples counseling (including non-traditional relationships), family therapy, communication, anger management, grief, relationships, behavioral therapy, weight loss, trauma, perfectionism, performance anxiety, career, self-esteem, and much more! We work with clients of all ages and we provide services to individuals, couples and families across the state of Colorado through in-person, hybrid, and remote counseling.
Master's level training largely consists of experiential learning supplemented by didactic information and close supervision and mentorship. As part of our developmental model, the staff encourages interns to assess their professional strengths and limitations and assists them in developing appropriate learning experiences to guide their growth within the parameters of the training opportunities offered here.
Over the course of the internship, as we see competence and confidence levels increase for the intern, we are committed to creating opportunities across all skill areas that will foster greater autonomy and independent functioning.
The intern's primary supervisor will provide a minimum of 1-2 hours per week of individual supervision. The assigned supervisor will be a licensed professional counselor (LPC) or a licensed psychologist. The supervisor will review client video recordings and have knowledge of all clients being seen by the intern. The supervisors will also serve as an advocate and consultant for other center-related activities and will assist the intern in decisions relating to professional development. Supervisors will provide written feedback at mid-semester and end-of-semester evaluation meetings.
