Clinical Internship Program
The Wendt Center trains graduate students from accredited programs to become psychotherapists specializing in grief and trauma. These highly-trained interns go through a competitive application process and participate in an intensive training program.
These graduate interns also work with clients impacted by trauma and grief. All sessions are overseen by licensed and experienced clinicians and the program ensures each client receives compassionate, evidence-based care.
