Samaritan Counseling’s 2-year Spiritually Integrated Therapy (SIT) intern program allows master’s graduate mental health clinicians to fulfill their 1500 hours of counseling required to gain full licensure with the state of Florida. Our interns play a vital role in our ability to provide excellent, professional spiritually integrated counseling services for our community. We’re searching for candidates residing in Manatee and Sarasota counties from diverse backgrounds who are passionate about working with the vulnerable and underserved. Cultural humility and engagement along with spiritual assessment and integration are the key focal points of our two-year training course, with the ultimate goal of logging the qualifying hours necessary for Florida licensure in your discipline. The program also includes in-house supervision with a fully-licensed clinician at no cost to you.
We accept all mental health practitioners including clinical social workers, marriage and family therapists, and mental health counselors. If you are interested in learning more about our program, please fill out the contact form.
Entry into the program starts either in September or January. Practicum students are also welcomed to apply. Applications for the spring semester are closed; the deadline for applications for the 2025 fall semester is April 1st.
