CARE Counseling is excited to be an industry leader as we begin offering a $2,000 stipend for practicum students that join the summer and fall cohorts at CARE for the 2023-2024 training year! CARE is honored to join this part of a student’s initial professional path and we realize how important a supportive community and high-quality training is at this stage in one’s growth and education. CARE also recognizes how much students also invest in their training experience and values their dedication to practicum, which is why we invest significant organizational resources in our training program.

CARE Counseling is a clinic focused on the training, development, and sustainability of our team so that CARE’s clinicians are grounded and supported to provide the best possible services for the community at large. Our clinicians provide counseling and support for individuals of all ages, families, and couples from diverse backgrounds and symptom presentations. The clinic is multidisciplinary with clinicians with backgrounds in psychology, social work, marriage and family therapy, and nursing.

The CARE Training Team is focused on cultivating an immersive training experience in an outpatient mental health setting. The practicum experience is for a nine- or 12-month commitment, with the potential to stay on after graduation and transition to a pre-independently licensed position.  

At CARE we are “Building a Community to Strengthen the Community” and look forward to welcoming the next year of practicum students!   CARE Counseling offers in-person, hybrid, and remote practicum opportunities for master’s level counseling, marriage and family, and social work students, as well as doctoral level counseling and clinical students from accredited graduate programs in Minnesota.
