Life Point Counseling – Plymouth, WI
Paid graduate counseling internship with structured clinical training, weekly supervision, specialty training, and a $2,000 stipend.
Life Point Counseling is a growing outpatient mental health practice committed to developing highly competent, ethical clinicians. Beginning in September 2026, we are launching a newly structured, paid internship program designed to provide graduate counseling students with comprehensive clinical training, intensive supervision, and professional development beyond typical internship experiences.
Successful interns may be considered for future employment opportunities at Life Point Counseling following graduation based on performance and organizational needs.
Unlike traditional internships, our program combines direct client experience with a formal curriculum, specialized training, and paid instructional time to help interns build the clinical and professional skills necessary for long-term success.
Interns receive a $2,000 stipend over two academic semesters while completing approximately 20 hours per week throughout the internship.
Our goal is not simply to help you complete internship hours—we're committed to helping you become a confident, competent clinician prepared for long-term success.
Clinical Interns will complete a supervised counseling internship while participating in a structured educational program that integrates classroom instruction, hands-on clinical experience, and individualized supervision.
Receive close mentorship from experienced licensed clinicians who are invested in your professional growth.
Unlike many internship experiences that focus solely on completing graduation requirements, Life Point provides a structured learning environment that combines paid clinical experience, formal coursework, individualized mentorship, and specialty training to prepare you for independent clinical practice and future employment.
