TESTIMONIALS

What They Say About Us

“My past year as a Trauma Mental Health Counseling Intern with the BRAIN Center team at Le Bonheur has been an extremely rewarding experience that I am grateful for every day. I have gained extensive and valuable hands-on experience, obtained multiple evidence-based counseling certifications, and had the opportunity to work with a wide range of populations. This experience has not only introduced me to patients, families, coworkers, and a supervisor that will have a special place in my heart forever; it has also ignited my confidence in myself as a therapist and the assistance that I am able to provide to those needing support.”
Olivia Vires
Olivia Vires Trauma Mental Health Intern
“Serving as the Clinical Director of Trauma Counseling has been the most fulfilling role in my career as a mental health professional. As a supervisor, I love seeing the joy and excitement on the students’ faces after a patient and family responds well to a new clinical technique they used. As a clinician, one of the most rewarding aspects of my role is the opportunity to offer a sense of safety and comfort to children and families during their most vulnerable moments while facing serious health challenges and injuries.”

The hospital offers a challenging and fast-paced environment with front line exposure and an incredible blend of traditional and non-traditional counseling experiences.

The support and supervision for interns is also amazing. It really feels like you are part of a team, and everyday you get to do something meaningful with others who care just as much as you do.”
