"My internship at BZA Behavioral Health was such a great experience to be a part of and I am so thankful I found it. The supervision is unmatched with weekly individual and group meetings and additional monthly individual meetings with different supervisors, which allows for obtaining a wide variety of clinical expertise. Not only did I learn and readily practice cognitive behavioral therapy, with supervisors trained in DBT, EMDR, trauma-focused techniques, and many more, I was able to become acquainted with alternate therapeutic modalities. The amount of client-facing hours that BZA provides is also more than I have heard at many other internship site placements and helps you put into practice the skills you learn in the classroom. At BZA, I felt like I was getting a real taste of what I hoped to do upon graduation and reassured me that I was in the right field. I strongly recommend an internship at BZA to any other students I encounter that are at all interested in therapy for the unparalleled supervision, clinical experience, and wonderful group of individuals who work there and want to see their interns thrive." - Sarah Stram, Masters Level Intern | August 2023 - April 2024
