Intern
Comprehensive Psychiatric And Psychological Services
Piedmont, South Carolina, United States
I learned and gained so much experience during my time as an intern at Comprehensive Psychiatric and Psychological Services in Piedmont over this past summer. I was able to sit in with an LPC, Angie Gilstrap, for many sessions with clients, young and old, in order to gain more knowledge and experience in the counseling field. I connected with many of the clients and learned so much about this field. This internship made me fall more in love with becoming a therapist and opening my own practice one day. It truly enhanced my passion and eagerness for helping others. I spoke with clients, did intake interviews, played with children during play therapy, learned about multiple therapy techniques and practices, spoke with highly educated people in this field, learned how to answer phone calls from clients, learned about insurance information, learned about billing information, and also was able to train alongside a psychologist with her Psy.D in Forensic Psychology.
