At Adolescent Wellness Academy (AWA), learning never stops, and neither does our commitment to growing the next generation of clinicians. Our year-round practicum and internship program gives graduate students real, hands-on clinical experience in adolescent mental health, backed by a team that genuinely wants to see you thrive.
About the Program
AWA is a Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) treatment center serving adolescents ages 13-17 and their families. Interns don't just observe from the sidelines. You become part of the clinical team, learning alongside licensed supervisors and taking on real responsibility as you grow.
You'll get hands-on exposure to individual, family, and group therapy, treatment team meetings and collaborative care planning, crisis intervention and safety protocols, admissions, assessments, and documentation, and evidence-based modalities including DBT, CBT, and MI.
We believe great clinicians are built through mentorship, curiosity, and real practice, not just textbooks. Every placement is grounded in our values: Choose Kindness, Deliver Results, Spread Optimism, and Contribute to the Whole.
