About Pathways Counseling Center

Pathways Counseling Center is excited to offer a clinical internship opportunity within our expanding LGBTQIA+ Program, directed by Jen Reddig, MA, LMFT.

This internship provides a unique opportunity to serve clients within the LGBTQIA+ community while developing advanced clinical skills in a supportive, collaborative, and inclusive environment. Our team is growing rapidly, and we’re seeking interns who are passionate about making a meaningful impact and growing both personally and professionally alongside us.

Program Overview

Interns in this program will gain experience providing psychotherapy and diagnostic assessments for individuals within the LGBTQIA+ community. Experience working specifically with LGBTQIA+ clients is preferred but not required, as specialized training and ongoing consultation are provided throughout the internship.

Time Commitment

• A minimum of ten clinical services per week (e.g., diagnostic assessments or psychotherapy sessions) is required.
• The internship duration is a minimum of one year.
• Including meetings and documentation, this generally requires about 20 hours per week.
• Additional clients are available if you wish to increase your caseload or gain more experience.

Structure and Supervision

• Interns receive supervision hours toward licensure (when applicable) at no cost.
• You will participate in regular team meetings, case consultations, and optional advanced trainings.
• Administrative time between sessions is not reimbursed; however, any billable service time (psychotherapy or assessment) is compensated through the internship agreement.
• Interns are supported by both their direct supervisor and the broader Pathways leadership team.
