How To Apply
Internship is open to social work students from Boston University and Smith College as well as master's level counseling or expressive therapy students at Lesley.
If you are interested, you may drop off your resume and three letters of recommendation at the Counseling Center, which is located on the 3rd Floor of Doble Hall on the Doble Campus, or you may email the information to Magi McKinnies, the Director of the Counseling Center, at mmckinni@lesley.edu. You may also mail the information to Magi McKinnes, Lesley University Counseling Center, 29 Everett Street, Cambridge, 02138. We will review all resumes and contact those whom we plan to interview.
Please be sure that your information arrives at the Counseling Center by the END OF JANUARY. We begin reviewing resumes as soon as they are received, so it is in your best interest to submit your materials as soon as possible. If you do not have all your recommendations in place at that time, send or bring in the information you do have.
Training and administrative meetings take place weekly on Monday and Friday afternoons. Other than these meetings, times are flexible, depending upon everyone's schedule and office availability. Interns are required to work one evening a week. We are not able to offer parking facilities to Interns.
If you have been an ongoing client at the Counseling Center, you will not be eligible for the internship program.
We prefer students doing their second year internship. We will consider an unusually experienced and/or mature candidate doing a first year internship.
Thank you for your interest. If you have any questions, please feel free to call 617.349.8545. We look forward to hearing from you.
