American Psychological Association Internship   

The SMH pre-doctoral internship program is fully accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA). The primary goal of our internship program is to provide an intensive and professional learning experience leading to the development of focused clinical and professional skills. The psychology internship program adheres to a scholar-practitioner/public mental health training model. As a result, interns are exposed to a rich array of clinical, consultative, teaching, and training experiences within a public mental health framework. By the end of the internship, psychology interns should possess both a breadth and depth of clinical/public mental health experience that enables them to move smoothly into a post-doctoral position or into a job in the field of psychology. 

Each year three interns are selected to work within the SMH psychology services division. While all three interns are placed in the psychology services division, one intern will be selected to spend time within our adult services track and two interns will spend time within our child and family services track.
