Interns Hall of Fame

Kentlands Psychotherapy is committed to helping to increase the gender, racial, cultural, religious, sexual, ability/disability diversity within our profession. Representation matters, and having clinicians in the field that clients can relate to and feel understood because of their shared experiences is extremely important in our field. This is why, for over fifteen years, we have provided HS, College, and Graduate-level psychology internships to students in our community.

We are currently in an incredible growth phase with the practice and have needed to put our internship program on hold until further notice. The EARLIEST we anticipate possibly restarting would be the summer of 2025.

Congratulations to all of our prior interns. We can’t wait to see all the incredible things you do!

Alumni Inspiration

“I just wanted to reach out and thank you one last time for your encouraging words and help with my recommendation letter during my application season this past year. I was fortunate enough to get into several top programs, but ultimately decided that William and Mary best suits my future goals. Starting this August, I’ll be in Williamsburg studying Clinical Mental Health and Addictions Counseling! I’m incredibly excited to see where this takes me. Even more, thank you so much for taking a chance on me during an incredibly crazy COVID summer, as well as for teaching me so much. My time at KP really reminded me why I look forward to waking up every day to study psychology.” – AB
