Professional Training

JOURNEYS COUNSELING CENTER OFFERS A STATE-OF-THE-ART CLINICAL TRAINING PROGRAM FOR MASTERS-LEVEL STUDENTS AND ASSOCIATE-LEVEL THERAPISTS.

Our team is pleased to offer a robust clinical training program based on the developmental model of professional growth. With five AZBBHE-approved supervisors on site, including a clinical training director (Vanessa Van Dyke, MA, LPC) and another primary clinical supervisor (Stephanie Otte, MC, LPC), we are excited to offer a teaching/training program for early career therapists. Over the last 15 years, we have collaborated and refined our training program, so that it includes a high level of supervision with an emphasis on skill building and person-of-the-therapist growth. We offer numerous touchpoints with our diversely trained team, so that interns and associates gain exposure to a wide variety of theoretical orientations, feel supported and cared for in their early career, gain valuable technical skills, and develop their emotional and relational awareness.

As a team, Journeys seeks to decrease competition and isolation and increase collaboration, which we believe lays the foundation for a sustainable work-life balance. It also just makes our workplace a great place to be for everyone! Our training program emphasizes these values in addition to helping trainees develop clinical excellence.

We interview potential interns in January of each year. Associate-level therapists may inquire regarding availability through our client coordinator.

We have interns starting in April 2023
