ASC seeks out interns who are passionate about working in a community-based behavioral health setting while working towards increased cultural identity awareness. Interns should be aware of counter-transference and transference issues, and their impact on the therapeutic process. They should also be willing to navigate complex systems. Applicants should seek feedback for their professional growth, and be organized, creative, able to meet deadlines, and consider themselves an initiative-taker.
