We have two outpatient mental health training clinics within our Institute: the Psychological Clinic (serving adults) and the University Center for the Child and Family or UCCF (serving children, teens, and families). The Psychological Clinic and UCCF are located in Ann Arbor, Michigan’s vibrant downtown, just steps from the University of Michigan central campus. The internships begin in mid-August and run for one year.

Interns match to one of our three training tracks:

We offer 8 internship positions each year (Psychological Clinic = 4 and UCCF = 4).

Clinical, Counseling, or School Psychology graduate students from accredited doctoral programs are eligible to apply. The annual internship stipend is $35,000. Benefits include medical insurance and generous paid time off.

The University Center for the Child and Family (UCCF) assesses and treats children, adolescents, couples, and families from our campus and the broader community.

We espouse a scientist-practitioner model that emphasizes the importance of integrating scientific data and inquiry into our training and clinical work; training in a wide variety of evidence-based treatments; immersion in clinical services including individual, group, and couples psychotherapy, as well as psychological testing; broad training across the age span, across a wide variety of clients with varying diagnoses and presenting problems, and across a wide array of evidence-based and theoretically varied intervention techniques;
the importance of providing intensive and varied supervision; and training in a supportive, multidisciplinary setting with supervisors dedicated to this task, and among a large cohort of fellow trainees at various levels.

Interns are integral members of our highly experienced, multidisciplinary treatment teams. They participate in staff meetings and discussions, and their suggestions and observations about our service delivery system are seriously considered. Trainees’ skill levels and clinical interests are carefully considered in designing and tailoring clinical assignments and training experiences to the professional development of each trainee.

Our training fosters the development of clinical competencies from basic to professional psychology. We train our interns to develop the skills and attitudes that are expected of well-qualified, compassionate, and ethical professionals. Our internship program offers graduate students great opportunities to build upon their education with professional, real-world experience. We offer:

MARI is committed to culturally humble and accessible services, providing care with dignity and respect, and striving towards a socially just community.
