We at Pine Rest believe in the power of healing and that everyone in our community has the right to expert care for mental health and substance use disorders. We are much more than just the third largest non‑profit behavioral health system in the country, our 220‑acre main campus, and our network of clinical sites across Michigan. We are a tight‑knit community of healers who witness the impact of our life‑changing work each day.

Each day, we are closing the gaps in access to care. We are innovating through leading‑edge research, testing, programs, and treatment modalities that others replicate across the country. Our services include a state‑of‑the‑art psychiatric urgent care center and a soon‑to‑be‑built pediatric behavioral health center, outpatient, inpatient, partial hospitalization (day programs), assessment and testing, residential, addiction treatment and specialty services such as crisis response, employee assistance programs, forensic psychiatry and psychology, and neuromodulation.

On‑the‑job educational programs for nurses, psychologists, advanced practice providers, psychiatrists, and chaplains are equipping the next generation of care providers.

We are passionate about serving and are honored to be a part of this incredible work.

Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services offers a one‑year Master’s Level Internship Program for students in Counseling, Psychology, and Social Work. This program is designed to support emerging clinicians as they transition from academic training into professional practice through structured, supervised clinical experiences across the behavioral health continuum.

The internship follows a developmental learning model that allows interns to progress at an individualized pace through four stages:

• Stage 1: Organizational and departmental onboarding
• Stage 2: Supervisor‑led sessions with intern observation
• Stage 3: Intern‑led sessions with supervisor observation
• Stage 4: Increased independence with ongoing supervisory oversight

Interns may be placed in a variety of clinical settings based on program availability, educational requirements, and career interests, including:
Inpatient and Outpatient Services, Partial Hospitalization Programs, Residential Care, Child & Adolescent Services, Psychological Assessment & Testing, School‑Based Counseling (K–12), Substance Use Disorder Treatment, and Urgent Care and Crisis Services

Interns are integrated into interdisciplinary teams and supported through a structured training environment that includes scheduled didactic learning and exposure to Pine Rest leadership and clinical professionals. The program emphasizes professional development, ethical practice, and preparation for post‑graduate clinical roles.

• Supervised clinical hours structured to meet graduate program requirements
• Progressive learning model that supports skill development from observation to greater clinical independence
• Diverse clinical exposure across multiple levels of care and specialty populations
• Interdisciplinary team experience within a large, well‑established behavioral health system
• Strong preparation for post‑graduate practice, licensure, and early career success
