Doctoral, APA-Accredited Psychology Internship Program

The mission of our doctoral internship program is to provide psychology trainees with effective clinical training in the assessment and treatment of underserved populations within a community mental health setting. Located in Aurora, CO, one of the most diverse cities per capita in the United States, our large community mental health center provides services that address a wide range of mental health problems with a client population that includes children, adolescents, adults, and families.

The diversity of the agency's client population is underscored by our newly developed Cultural Development & Wellness Center. The program has been fully accredited since 2000 by the American Psychological Association. For more information, please click here.
