"I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as a Counselor-in-Training at CAPS. The staff is so supportive; the culture of CAPS has made me feel safe and welcome to consult, ask questions, process, and seek help when I need. On top of all that, they bring a wide array of clinical skills and perspective that is strengthening my own skill set in the profession. Getting to fulfill my internship requirements at a place like CAPS, at Sewanee, has also provided numerous opportunities to collaborate with other departments on campus, deepening my understanding of the needs of college students in today's environment. As a Counselor-in-Training at CAPS I get to work with a wide array of clients, I am learning a lot, and am being supported every step of the way."
"My experience as an intern at Sewanee CAPS was incredible. The CAPS team fosters such an energizing and welcoming environment, and I was able to cultivate my professional identity beyond my wildest expectations.
