How did you find your practicum/internship?

Hello all! I’m currently in my second semester of my master’s program in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My university requires students to find their own placements and so I am beginning my search (in Philadelphia).

I’ve heard time and time again that the internship portion of the degree can make or break your learning experience, so I wanted to seek advice from those of you who have been in this position before.

What makes a site a great candidate for an internship? What are some red flags?

I appreciate any and all advice!
