Practicum/ Internship Experience

All services of Revive Counseling and Wellness Services (Revive) are designed with the community in mind. The practicum and internship experience has been carefully considered to meet the needs of the student, the academic program and the mission and vision of Revive.

With this in mind, we have identified the benefits of completing a practicum/internship with Revive:

·

Students will gain a great deal of community exposure including working with community partners to develop relevant and practical therapeutic groups.

·

Revive is contracted with the Department of Human Resources of several counties and serve a diverse group of clients. Interns will have a great opportunity to counsel with clients of diverse race, gender, age, location (if desired), socio-economic status, and more. Additionally, Revive offers a variety of services to include individual counseling, family and group counseling.

·

A foundational pillar of Revive clinicians is a commitment to continued learning and research. The agency will pay for 2 CEU opportunities for each student (cost within reason and approved).

·

Revive is committed to expanding services and physical location into other counties. Services will be further tailored to meet the needs of these communities.

·

Revive offers paid practicum and internships as appropriate. A contract is required for paid placements.

·

Revive can offer licensure supervision upon application for your ALC.

Therefore, graduates that completed their internship with Revive can complete their supervision at the same location!

·

As we work to expand the services of Revive, students will have the opportunity to meet with city officials, nonprofit leaders, attend chamber events, business network events and so much more! Hopefully, this will assist by planting a seed for developing their own practice or developing their work within Revive’s growing group practice.

Requirements for Practicum and Internships:

We value uniformity and professionalism at Revive. Therefore, we will ensure students have postcards advertising their personal services, and a Revive t-shirt. Because of this and the investment made in their practicum and internship experience, a commitment of 2 years is required (regardless of practicum or internship status). Additionally, a successful interview is required to ensure an appropriate fit for the student and Revive.
