Interns & Externs
Hope Counseling Centers works with interns and externs in order to help keep costs down and to facilitate the training of professionals entering into the field of mental health care. A psychological intern is someone who has completed their academic requirements and is working towards the requi#DB0000 hours necessary to obtain licensure in their respective field. A psychological extern is someone who is currently in an academic program and working towards getting hands-on experience in the field. Externs receive extensive supervision and training to ensure that they are proficient in therapeutic interventions and psychological assessment proceedures. Our interns and externs are highly-trained and can typically offer services at a significantly reduced cost as they are working on obtaining training hours required to become licensed. Many clients choose to work with our interns and practicum students as a way to receive quality services at a lower cost.
Individual Therapy Rates (without insurance)*:
Intern/Extern prices vary depending on the provider. Intern and Extern prices typically range from $25 to $50 per session, with some interns offering even lower prices. Please Contact Us to find out more about the availability and rates of our interns and practicum students.
