What are the responsibilities and job description for the Outpatient Counseling Intern - 2nd Year MA/MS Student position at AllHealth Network?
An intern with our Outpatient Counseling team will have the opportunity to observe and learn from counselors at AllHealth Network, working with adults in an outpatient setting.
Under the supervision of a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), the counseling intern will gain firsthand clinical experience providing individual service hours to adult clients. The intern may be introduced to and complete various assessments, treatment goals, and treatment plans. The intern will see a small caseload, engage in good caseload management, complete timely documentation and appropriate service coding, and attend team meetings and weekly supervision.
The intern will have the opportunity to observe counselors in real-time conversations with the clients and lead conversations themselves in individual sessions. In addition, an intern will be given the opportunity to engage in case reviews to learn how to apply academic knowledge to real-life situations. As with all internships, the intern will receive direct supervision from and be in daily contact with their internship supervisor.
The contractor will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against employees or applicants because they have inquired about, discussed, or disclosed their own pay or the pay of another employee or applicant. However, employees who have access to the compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of their essential job functions cannot disclose the pay of other employees or applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to compensation information, unless the disclosure is (a) in response to a formal complaint or charge, (b) in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or (c) consistent with the contractor's legal duty to furnish information. 41 CFR 60-1.35(c)
