“Working at the SEC has been a wonderful opportunity for me. I was looking for a place to gain some hands-on clinical experience, and I don’t think I could have lucked into a better situation. The staff have made me feel welcome and valued, and prioritize the experience I’m looking for from the internship. I feel myself growing and learning each week I spend here. I’m grateful to have found such a great fit and would definitely recommend the SEC to anyone wanting clinical experience with children and adolescents.”
