Internship & Supervision at Points of Origin
At Points of Origin Counseling & Education Center, our internship and supervision programs are built to shape not just future clinicians—but reflective, embodied leaders. We provide a dynamic, structured pathway for clinical interns, administrative interns, and licensed professionals seeking LPCS candidacy to grow through intentional training, ethical practice, and trauma-informed care.
Our focus is integrative: We blend narrative, somatic, and culturally attuned supervision to prepare the next generation of wellness professionals to serve with skill, presence, and purpose.

The InSupervision Series is designed to expand your clinical capacity and strengthen your embodied presence while cultivating secure attachment practices. Across six sessions, you step into reflective supervision, apply somatic case conceptualization, map body cues to behavior, explore the connection between somatic truth and narrative, integrate trauma-informed pacing and check-in tools, and bring it all together through live consultation and case review. This series prepares you not only with skills but with the confidence and resilience to transform how you practice, lead, and connect. Access the overview here.
