Graduate interns are students who are currently enrolled and finalizing their degrees as therapists. The graduate internship process is the last leg of a graduate school program where students are receiving hands-on practical training in the field of therapy. 510 Graduate interns are carefully selected and closely supervised to ensure that our clients are getting great care! Interns are with 510 for a limited time (usually 6-12 months depending on their respective program), but they provide sessions at a significantly reduced rate – often less than an insurance co-pay – $40.00. Interns are under the supervision of experienced, licensed therapists. So it’s kind of like a 2 for 1 deal! 😊
