Advanced Practicum Placements
This specialized stream is exclusively designed for Master of Social Work (MSW) and/or Masters of Arts and Counselling students who are entering their final practicum placement year. We selectively partner with students who are ready to step into a rigorous, sophisticated clinical environment.
The Placement Experience
An internship at Elevare offers a genuinely rare clinical foundation that standard placements seldom replicate. Operating within a highly specialized, neuro-based trauma setting, you will gain direct exposure to cutting-edge, bottom-up modalities, including EMDR, Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), and neurofeedback.
Rather than managing a generic caseload, you will observe and learn to navigate complex dissociative presentations and severe trauma under the direct supervision of our expert clinical supervisor. You will be fully integrated into our team, participating in advanced clinical consultations and learning the operational standards of a premium private practice.
Expectations & Alignment
Because our interns provide real care to our community, we hold our students to the exact same rigorous standards as our permanent clinical team.
Cultral Alignment
All students are expected to fully embody Elevare’s Culture Code in their work, ethics, and professional conduct.
Presence & Commitment
This is a hybrid placement with most work being online and some direct in person therapy hours. You must meet the minimum weekly hours required by your university program, alongside a dedication to excellence, continuous feedback, and clinical precision.
