Mental Health & Social Work Internships in New Hampshire
We don't just want to fill internship spots. We want to help shape therapists who change lives.
Learn beyond symptoms. Grow into the work. Build a future with purpose.

Grow Your Next Step
Strong interns may have opportunities to continue with CARE after graduation.
We combine clinical growth with real support.
A great internship should do more than check a requirement. It should help you become a stronger therapist with clearer direction, deeper confidence, and a better understanding of how meaningful therapy works.
Clinical Confidence
Build practical skills and stronger judgment through hands-on learning.
Root-Cause Thinking
Learn to look beyond symptoms and understand what is really driving them.
Mentorship That Matters
Receive thoughtful support from clinicians who want to help you grow.
An internship that invests in you
You're giving your time and energy to learn. We make sure it's worth it.
Paid internship
Your work has value from day one, and we pay you for it.
Flexibility
Hours that work around your classes, your program's requirements and your life.
An intern community
Connect with interns from many different colleges and programs. Learn together and build lasting professional friendships.
Many supportive supervisors
Learn from several experienced supervisors and colleagues, not just one, so you see many ways to do this work well.
Your internship does not have to be the end of the story.
When there is strong alignment, strong performance, and an available opportunity, CARE may consider interns for future roles that support continued development and progress toward licensure as an LICSW, LCMHC or LMFT.
Opportunities depend on fit, interview success, qualifications, and availability.
Already completed your internship somewhere else?
We also consider candidates for full-time therapist jobs even if they did not complete an internship with CARE. A successful interview, mission alignment, and fit with our approach all matter.
