So, what is a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern?
This is the credential a professional gets before becoming a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). In the state of Florida, the Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern must have completed their master’s degree from a recognized school and receive supervised clinical hours for a minimum of 2 years before becoming a LMHC. Registered Mental Health Counselor Interns are able to treat clients under the supervision of a licensed and qualified supervisor. My supervisor is Dr. Kimberly S. Benson, M.A., LMHC, CAP, CCTP, QS.
I am confident in my abilities to offer compassionate and comprehensive support services to individuals from diverse backgrounds, with a wide range of needs, as I possess a tremendous amount of dependability, integrity, patience, and respect for patient confidentiality.
