We are open Monday–Friday from 9 am to 5 pm.
Some staff members are working in a hybrid model. We suggest contacting us via fto@lesley.edu if you'd like to schedule an in-person appointment. Appointments are also available remotely.

- Students begin searching for an internship in the fall before their intended internship and Field Training Contracts are due in April before that fall internship.

All Counseling and Psychology internships begin in the early fall (late August/early September) and end in the spring (May or June).
