Gap to Growth Program
Masters Level interns providing FREE mental health therapy services. Growing the next generation of mental health counselors while bridging the gap for those needing mental health counseling services.
We are so excited to share our Gap to Growth Program.
As you may be aware, the demand for skilled mental health counselors in our communities has not decreased. We are passionately working to bridge that gap!
Through our Gap to Growth program, our aim is to provide quality training to masters level counseling students while providing needed mental health therapy services in our community. These services are provided at NO COST and students are supervised by a seasoned licensed clinician.
As we gear up for the 2024-2025 academic year, our team has officially offered two practicum and internship positions, and they were accepted! The anticipation keeps building, and we can't wait to unveil the details of these incredible individuals and how they will be serving the Story County community. Stay tuned for more updates – the best is yet to come!
If you are interested in making an appointment to see one of our interns, you can call 515-233-1699 to set up an appointment.
