SENS provides an accessible and modern approach to psychology. We are a rapidly growing private practice with offices in three urban areas, as well as a provider of remote psychotherapy services. In addition, we support an online community that provides awareness, education, and support for psychological issues - specializing in the psychology of relationships.

We provide training for exceptional and ambitious students looking for a supportive environment with modern opportunities and community engagement! Our flexible program allows for students with unique interests (e.g., trauma, work with children/adolescents, prenatal/postnatal psychology, couples counseling, AI/tech) to carve out a niche training experience. We provide excellent training and mentorship. In addition, interns have the option to co-create programs, community initiatives and trainings that will boost their resumes, allow them to contribute to the community, and set them apart from other students.

SENS has built a successful practice model based on innovation and a holistic view of health and growth. Beyond gaining simple techniques, our clients are looking to live interesting and authentic lives. Because many of our clients have already had a certain level of success in life, many of the issues that hold them back require a honed approach and advanced skillset to tackle. We value work-life balance and creativity. In return, we provide an environment of support and innovation. If this excites you - we provide an excellent training site.

Positions will be flexible, part-time, and primarily or exclusively remote.
