Valley Cities stands out as a premier organization providing comprehensive clinical supervision for interns and staff. Our unique approach allows our dedicated staff to engage in public supervision, contributing towards certifications. In addition, we facilitate group supervision hours, accelerating the accumulation of necessary hours for our staff as well. Beyond these fundamental aspects, we also prioritize continuous professional development through ongoing trainings, fostering skill enhancement both during and beyond regular work hours.

Interns at Valley Cities have the opportunity to participate in a diverse range of supervised services, including both inpatient and outpatient settings. Our program not only focuses on individual counseling but also offers structured trainings and chances to co-facilitate groups. Interns can actively engage in youth and family counseling, as well as counseling for adults and children. Moreover, our commitment to diversity and inclusion is evident in our focus on LGTQIA+ inclusion. Additionally, we provide specialized counseling for older adults and seniors. Valley Cities is dedicated to creating a dynamic learning environment that ensures interns gain valuable experience across various facets of social work, contributing to their well-rounded professional growth."
