Join Our Team

Reaching HOPE is a site within the APA-accredited Pre-doctoral Internship at University of Denver Consortium. Reaching HOPE offers experience conducting therapy with children, teens, parents, and families who have survived complex trauma. We use a phase-based model for treating complex trauma in family systems. Interns will join a dynamic team of psychologists who tackle intergenerational trauma with a unique approach—the whole family system (ages 2-75+) is seen by the whole treatment team (everyone with their own individual therapist). Additionally, interns will have the opportunity to participate in the Mental health Co-Responder Program through minor rotations, as well as learn the inner workings of running a non-profit through business projects and community collaboration / outreach opportunities. Please note, that Reaching HOPE requires background checks as part of the onboarding process.

Reaching HOPE offers a 1+ year supervised doctoral practicum to students training to become psychologists and who are interested in receiving trauma or crisis response specific training. Practicum students learn with close and supportive supervision from Reaching HOPE Staff psychologists. Within the Trauma Recovery program, practicum students work side-by-side with trauma specialists by running individual and group therapy sessions and co-leading family therapy sessions with children, teens, and adults who are impacted by trauma. Within the Co-Responder Program, students work with psychologists to provide crisis support in response to 911 calls along side Law Enforcement, as well as prevention services through open office hours in the community.
