INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Learn the Work. Do the Work. Grow Into the Professional You Want to Be.
At Fellowship Recovery, we believe strong clinical training happens when education meets meaningful, real-world experience.
We welcome students pursuing education in substance use counseling, mental health counseling, behavioral health, and related fields.
More Than an Internship - You are not here just to observe.
Fellowship interns become active members of the treatment team, with responsibilities expanding based on education, demonstrated competency, school requirements, and individualized supervision.
Internship experiences may include:
Group facilitation and co-facilitation
Individual counseling
Treatment planning
Clinical documentation
Client intake activities
Case consultation
Team meetings
Professional trainings
Individual and group supervision
Assessment experience for qualifying dual-discipline interns
Real Clients. Real Experience. Real Growth.
Our goal is to bridge the gap between what you learn in school and what it actually means to work in the field.
What You’ll Gain
Hands-On Clinical Experience – Build practical skills alongside experienced behavioral health professionals.
Dedicated Supervision – Receive ongoing guidance, feedback, case consultation, and support from qualified supervisors.
Clinical Confidence – Practice applying your knowledge in real situations while strengthening judgment, communication, and decision-making.
Professional Development – Participate in trainings, team consultation, and clinical discussions that build your professional identity.
Co-Occurring Experience – Gain exposure to working with individuals experiencing both substance use and mental health concerns.
Supported While You Grow
Interns are challenged, supported, and given greater independence as competency develops. BBHT-approved supervisors provide clinical oversight, consultation, documentation review, and feedback throughout the experience.
Interns participate in weekly individual supervision and weekly group supervision, with opportunities to discuss:
Client cases and clinical challenges
Ethics and documentation
Areas where you feel stuck
Skills you want to strengthen
Professional goals and feedback
Successes and growth worth celebrating
Clinical independence develops intentionally—not simply because a certain number of internship hours have been completed.
What We Look for in an Intern
You do not need to arrive knowing everything.
You do need to arrive ready to learn.
We value interns who are:
Curious. Ask questions and seek opportunities to understand the work more deeply.
Coach-able. Receive feedback, reflect on it, and use it to grow.
Dependable. Follow through on commitments and communicate when something changes.
Professional. Maintain appropriate boundaries, confidentiality, ethics, and respectful communication.
Flexible. Behavioral healthcare rarely goes exactly according to plan. Being able to adapt matters.
Engaged. Participate in the experience rather than waiting for someone else to create it for you.
Supervision That Is Actually About Development
Supervision at Fellowship is more than getting a signature—it is protected time for learning, support, reflection, and professional growth.
Interns participate in weekly individual supervision as well as weekly group supervision, giving them both personalized guidance and the opportunity to learn alongside other developing professionals.
Interns are encouraged to bring:
Client questions and challenging cases
Clinical concerns or areas where they feel stuck
Ethical questions
Documentation questions
Professional goals
Skills they want more opportunities to practice
Feedback they are looking for
Successes and growth worth celebrating
Together, supervision focuses on clinical skill development, ethics, documentation, case conceptualization, professional identity, confidence, accountability, and continued growth—helping interns move beyond simply completing hours and toward becoming thoughtful, capable, and confident professionals.
Opportunities for Dual-Interns
Students completing training in both substance use disorder treatment and mental health disciplines may have opportunities to participate in diagnostic assessment activities when appropriate for their training level, school requirements, and supervision plan.
Paid Internship Opportunities
Fellowship Recovery offers compensated internship positions. Internship hours and schedules are coordinated based on school requirements, agency needs, and supervision availability.
