ARC COMMUNITY INTERNS
ARC Community Clinical Interns are Masters level students studying counseling, psychology, or social work who partner with ARC for a year to learn clinical skills and offer support for greater community work.
Each intern is supervised and has specific goals related to their educational requirements and interests. Interns offer lower fee or no cost therapy while in their training.
FALL/WINTER 2026 INTERN Coming soon…
Not sure who would be a good fit?
It’s absolutely normal to be unsure about therapist interest until you’ve had a chance to share more about your goals and get feedback about potential options. Our Onboarding Clinical Supervisor, Lauren, would love to hear a little bit about what you’re looking for and chat with you about options that may fit your care & financial needs.
ARC offers private pay services (not through insurance) and does provide a Superbill for Out of Network services for reimbursement by insurance. We also work with folks with may need financial assistance based on job loss or systemic inequality and have sliding scale availablity dependant upon clinician for those who meet these needs. Each clinician offers some amount of community care sliding scale therapy and is determined by them.
