Olivia LaVallie – Former Counseling Intern
My internship was a truly rewarding experience that helped me grow both personally and as a clinician. I gained valuable clinical knowledge, felt consistently supported by my supervisors and colleagues, and was encouraged every step of the way. The collaborative and welcoming environment helped me build confidence in my skills and affirmed my passion for working with youth. I’m grateful for the guidance I received throughout my time as an intern and am excited to continue my journey in the field as the Clinical Intake Coordinator at 360 Youth Services.
