Internship or Practicum Placement: Outpatient Program

5 days ago

Brooklyn Park, United States Washburn Center For Children Full time
Washburn Center's Master’s level Interns gain professional development and a solid foundation of clinical knowledge as they build careers in mental health therapy. Our unique program offers collaborative and direct field placements to graduate students exploring careers in children’s community mental health.

Use your internship to actively improve the lives of MN kids

Regardless of where Interns are placed, each student will get first-hand experience working with children accessing mental health services, and will support families alongside both peers and independently licensed Therapists and Case Managers.

Our field placements offer hands-on training in individual, family and/or group therapy, as well as case management, and Interns will focus in on center-based, home-based or school-based therapy. While most placements stem out of Washburn Center’s Minneapolis office, majority of interns will spend much of their time in the community.

Gain knowledge you'll use for the rest of your career

In addition to case consultations and in-service workshops, learning opportunities for master’s level internships include: diagnostic assessments, case management, development of treatment plans, progress notes and discharge summaries. Internships are typically a nine month experience from Aug/Sept to May.

Pathways Fellowship for BIPOC Interns:

Washburn Center for Children’s Pathways Fellowship aims to support people of color pursuing a career in the mental health field by reducing social, economic and racial barriers. Pathways builds upon Washburn Center’s clinical internship program and its long-time commitment to training professionals in children’s mental health. This fellowship supports the pathway to independent licensure for interns pursuing their Masters degree in Social Work, Professional Counseling, Marriage and Family Therapy and Psychology.

Fellows receive:

  • mentoring with an experienced clinician of color
  • a cohort experience to build comradery and support with other Pathways Fellows (twice monthly, 90 minute meetings)
  • a fellowship grant in the amount of $7500 to assist with expenses while pursuing graduate education or licensure

BIPOC Interns who are hired as interns for the 2025/2026 co-hort can apply for a Pathways Fellowship during the Pathways Interview Process in Summer 2025.

The Outpatient Program supports children, teens and families by providing clinic-based diagnostic assessment and individual and family therapy to help with a wide range of concerns, including school adjustment problems, depression, anxiety, difficulty dealing with loss or family changes, traumatic events, attention problems, parent-child conflicts, and behavioral difficulties. Outpatient services are provided at one of our three clinic locations (Minneapolis, Brooklyn Park, and Edina). Clinicians and families collaborate on treatment goals together, based on feedback from the diagnostic assessment. Therapy services focus on building a child’s strengths and gaining skills to be successful at home, in school, and in the community. Interns typically are on-site 16-20 hours/week, and see a caseload of 6-10 clients.
