Get to Know MARI Mentors

What MARI Mentors love about the MARI Training Program

The faculty and staff at MARI are an experienced, supportive team, and every year we bring in a new squad to work with and learn from. That offers an opportunity to combine the knowledge of experienced members with fresh ideas every year. That keeps us moving and open to new modalities and ways of thinking.

Jon Ross, MSW, Supervisor, Psychological Clinic

I enjoy getting to know supervisees and the unique perspectives they bring to clinical work, including their previous training, lived experiences, and worldview. I also love the innovative and creative ideas supervisees come up with!

Get to Know: Our Trainees Past and Present

The MARI Experience

I’ve felt really supported in my training goals. The clinical supervisors have done the heavy lifting to make my goals work.

Intern, March 2024

MARI is a kind and welcoming place, other trainees have gone out of their way to say hi and normalize stress and experience. Staff and fellow clinicians are amazing, I can’t say enough about them.

Social Work Fellow, July 2023

I like that we have the opportunity to learn from different individuals with different backgrounds and perspectives and education.

Social Work Trainee, December 2023

My training experience was transformative. I learned so much about the field, various therapeutic interventions, and I was given opportunities to successfully collaborate with and learn from colleagues. I had a wonderful supervisor, and I believe I learned something from each member of the Senior Staff.

Social Work Intern, August 2023

Every supervisor is focused on your goals and what you want to get out of the program. They help you to learn what you are interested in and provide ample opportunities.

Intern, August 2023

Welcome to Ann Arbor!

Ann Arbor is often listed as a great place to live, work, eat, and explore (see: lists of the nation’s “top,” “great” and “best” places to live). Previous interns often note they loved Ann Arbor because it combines the amenities of a bigger city, but with the charm of a small town.
