La Buena Vida, Inc. offers an internship program for students in master’s degree programs in social work, counseling, and marriage and family counseling.  Most of our intern recruits come from local universities including UNM, Webster, University of Phoenix, and Highlands.  They complete a two semester clinical internship consisting of between 16 – 20 hours per week.

The agency offers our interns the opportunity to learn through hands-on practice with a variety of clients, including individuals, couples, families, court-ordered, and group clients.  Through direct supervision, our interns are encouraged to use this experience for personal exploration and growth as a therapist entering the field.

Because La Buena Vida, Inc. has a team of therapists with diverse backgrounds and expertise as well as an open-door policy, interns receive over and above their supervision requirements, which better prepares them to be proficient professionals.

We appreciate our current interns and welcome those who will intern with us in the future.
