Why did you choose to do your internship at CVCH?
I wanted to search for an internship that emphasized behavioral healthcare from an integrated perspective. I was so excited to see that CVCH employed a biopsychosocial-spiritual approach to care, and I was incredibly impressed by the culture of support and collaboration at CVCH. As an added bonus, I fell in love with Washington after relocating for my doctoral program and I’m thrilled to be staying in such a beautiful state!
