Clinical Mental Health Counseling Internships (LAC/LPC Track)

Bright Harbor Healthcare is deeply committed to developing the next generation of professionals through meaningful, hands-on educational learning opportunities. We view interns as valued contributors to our mission, not observers on the sidelines. Across clinical, administrative, community outreach, research, policy, and operational disciplines, interns are integrated into real-world work that supports individuals, families, and communities.

Our internship experience is intentionally designed to promote skill development, professional growth, and ethical practice within a behavioral health and social services environment. Interns benefit from mentorship by experienced professionals, exposure to interdisciplinary collaboration, and opportunities to apply academic learning in practical, impactful ways. At Bright Harbor Healthcare, we invest in education because we believe strong learning environments strengthen our workforce, our services, and the communities we serve.

This internship is a crucial step for those pursuing licensing as an LAC or LPC and provides invaluable experience in a supportive and dynamic environment.
