At Dawn Institute, our internship program is intentionally designed to support emerging therapists in becoming confident, ethical, and relationally attuned clinicians. We provide a structured and supportive training environment grounded in Dawn’s core values of excellence, togetherness, efficiency, and integrity.

Our goal is not only to help you meet licensure requirements, but to help you develop your clinical voice, therapeutic presence, and professional identity.
