Endorsements from past interns:

“The Sentio Internship provided me with a lot of tools and skills that I otherwise would not have had access to. I was able to strengthen my skills in empathy, active listening, and goal setting all within a month. I'm beyond grateful that I had this opportunity.” - Ashley, Saint Mary’s College of California

“The Sentio University internship has provided me with realistic and practical skills that had increased my confidence in pursuing psychology. It gave me the chance to learn the role of a therapist with hands-on techniques that are missing from the psychology curriculum in most universities. In only four sessions, I was able to see significant growth in my ability to hold an empathetic space for another human being.” - Tabatha, University of La Verne
