Clinical Practicum Intern (Master's Level)

 

Why Charlie Health?

Millions of people across the country are navigating mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and eating disorders, but too often, they’re met with barriers to care. From limited local options and long wait times to treatment that lacks personalization, behavioral healthcare can leave people feeling unseen and unsupported.

Charlie Health exists to change that. Our mission is to connect the world to life-saving behavioral health treatment. We deliver personalized, virtual care rooted in connection—between clients and clinicians, care teams, loved ones, and the communities that support them. By focusing on people with complex needs, we’re expanding access to meaningful care and driving better outcomes from the comfort of home.

As a rapidly growing organization, we're reaching more communities every day and building a team that’s redefining what behavioral health treatment can look like. If you're ready to use your skills to drive lasting change and help more people access the care they deserve, we’d love to meet you.

About the Role

Charlie Health is seeking passionate and driven second-year master’s students in mental health programs (such as Social Work, Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Marriage and Family Therapy, or related fields) to join our dynamic virtual care team for their clinical practicum or internship experience.

As a clinical practicum student at Charlie Health, you’ll gain direct experience working with high-acuity clients in a virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) setting. Under the close supervision of one of our experienced therapists, you’ll develop your clinical skills through a variety of client interactions and treatment modalities. This internship offers a unique opportunity to work across:

• Group treatment sessions
• Individual therapy sessions
• Family therapy sessions
• Crisis intervention
• Clinical research
• Clinical curriculum

What You'll Gain

• Exposure to evidence-based practices used in treating high-acuity teens and adults
• Experience working within a multidisciplinary team of primary therapists, group facilitators, and care coordinators
• Training and mentorship from experienced clinicians in the field
• Skills in virtual care delivery, documentation, and client engagement

We’re a team of passionate, forward-thinking professionals eager to take on the challenge of the mental health crisis and play a formative role in providing life-saving solutions. If you’re inspired by our mission and energized by the opportunity to increase access to mental healthcare and impact millions of lives in a profound way, apply today.
