HERITAGE INSTITUTE ALUMNI TESTIMONIALS

  • My time at Heritage was such a blessing. Becoming a part of a therapy community not only taught me vital therapeutic skills, but allowed me to see the benefits of multiple perspectives, methodologies, and skillsets in other therapists. Heritage is not just a training clinic, but a family.

    Chelsea Arrington, MMFT, LMFT

  • I completed my internship and am now a fellow at Heritage. I truly appreciate the solid support system provided to clinicians through valuable oversight from experienced and passionate supervisors. The emphasis on holistic and customized treatment plans has allowed me to work with my clients in a way that feels personalized to their individual needs and objectives, rather than simply following a standardized approach. Overall, my experience at Heritage has been incredibly enriching, and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to grow as a mental health professional

  • My time as an Intern at Hertiage was truly an integral part of my educational journey! From the moment I began my practicum, I felt supported by seasoned clinicians, my supervisors, and other interns. I'm so thankful that I never felt alone in my journey and for the lifelong knowledge and connections that I made!

    Brittany Miller, LPC-A, MCMHC

  • I started my internship year at Heritage Institute in May of 2021. I had no idea what to expect—in any area—whether it was colleagues, supervisors, scheduling, or even what practicing with clients would look like. From day one, I felt so supported and encouraged by everyone around me. By the time my internship ended, I felt so confident in my abilities because of my experiences provided by this program. I knew that no matter where my career took me, I would have an incredible support system to lean on. I could not recommend Heritage Institute more to anyone looking for an internship opportunity that will provide a wide range of experience and excellent training!
