Consulting Services for Hiring Interns

Helping Private Practices Build Strong, Supportive Internship Programs

As a therapist and business coach, I understand the unique challenges of hiring and integrating interns into a private practice setting. My consulting services are designed to help you create a structured, ethical, and growth-focused internship program that benefits both your practice and budding careers.

Onboarding & Training

• Help you create a feedback system that encourages growth, reflection, and accountability.

Legal & Ethical Considerations
