Reasons why you should consider seeing a therapist intern:
Fresh Perspective and Enthusiasm: Therapist interns bring a youthful enthusiasm and fresh perspective to therapy, which can infuse new energy into your sessions and potentially lead to innovative approaches to your challenges.
Affordability: Opting for a therapist intern can be cost-effective as their services are generally more budget-friendly than those of experienced therapists. This makes therapy accessible to a wider range of individuals who might otherwise be constrained by financial limitations.
Current Techniques and Research: Interns are often well-versed in the latest therapeutic techniques and stay updated with cutting-edge research trends. This ensures that the interventions you receive are not only contemporary but also evidence-based and tailored to your specific needs.
Supervised Training: Despite their intern status, therapist interns undergo rigorous training that is closely supervised. This means you can expect a high level of quality care and attention even as they continue to learn and grow in their profession.
Nonjudgmental Space: Therapist interns create a safe and nonjudgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Their empathy and lack of preconceived notions facilitate self-expression and the processing of complex emotions.
Supervisory Expertise: Therapist interns often work under the guidance of experienced supervisors. This means you benefit from the expertise of both the intern and their mentors, leading to a comprehensive and well-rounded treatment approach.
Empowerment and Ownership: Interns’ collaborative approach empowers you to take an active role in your treatment. This involvement fosters a sense of ownership over your mental health journey and can boost your overall sense of agency.
As you can see, therapy with a graduate-level intern is full of benefits. From affordability and innovative techniques to a customized and collaborative approach. By choosing an intern, you contribute to your well-being and the growth and development of a dedicated professional in the making. This amazing relationship can enhance your journey toward overall well-being.

Chrisleigh Longlois
My name is Chrisleigh Longlois. I am currently pursuing my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Liberty University and am on track to graduate in August 2025. I have a bachelor’s degree in Christian studies with an emphasis in Christian ministry from Ouachita Baptist University. I spent the past year directing a children’s ministry where I spent my days interacting with children, listening to their experiences, and supporting parents as they faced the many challenges that come with raising children. From my years of ministry experience, I developed a passion for helping people through life’s struggles and hardships.
I believe that everyone is made uniquely. Every person has different talents, perspectives, and passions. Each session will be tailored to help you grow by equipping you to use your strengths to overcome challenges. I am committed to providing a safe environment for you to explore your experiences and feelings. Your comfort and confidentiality are a priority to me. I look forward to working with you throughout this process and helping you reach your goals.
Outside of counseling, I enjoy traveling and learning about new cultures. I have lived in Texas, Arkansas, and Virgina and traveled through seven European countries. In my free time I enjoy reading fiction, watching Monk, and playing tennis.
