We offer a wide-range of behavioral health services for clients of all ages in Snohomish, Skagit, Island, San Juan, and Whatcom counties.

Compass Health is Northwest Washington’s behavioral healthcare leader. We are a community-based healthcare agency, integrating behavioral health and medical care services to support clients and communities when and where they need us.

Building on a century of experience, we are forging new, nationally recognized models of care that bring together highly skilled mental health professionals, primary care providers, peer counselors and others to treat the whole person.

We address complex healthcare needs in partnership with first responders and other community organizations, and form a key section of the community safety net to serve our clients and others who need our care and support.

From comprehensive mental health treatment to crisis prevention and intervention, supportive housing, children’s services, community education and much more, our non-profit organization serves people of all ages throughout Snohomish, Skagit, Island, San Juan, and Whatcom counties.

Interns will provide therapy, learn consultation skills, be involved in trainings through the agency, participate in weekly staff meetings, and have additional opportunities for growth throughout their time at Compass Health. Students are assigned a primary caseload and conduct their own individual therapy sessions. They are expected to complete all necessary paperwork for the clients, coordinate with other team members and external service providers, and help clients connect with community resources.
Students do not complete independent assessments but may participate with/shadow another member of the team to observe assessments, with client permission.
