Why Work With a Graduate Counseling Intern?
You might be wondering: Is seeing a counseling intern actually a good option?
For many clients, yes.
Graduate clinicians are at an exciting point in their development as therapists. They’re actively immersed in current clinical education while receiving significant oversight and feedback as they put that training into practice.
At Marble Wellness, we’ve intentionally built additional support around that experience.
Our interns benefit from:
- Regular supervision from qualified licensed clinicians
- Ongoing case consultation
- Support from the larger Marble Wellness clinical team
- Continued training and professional development
- Guidance around treatment planning and clinical decision-making
- A practice culture that values thoughtful, ethical, individualized care
That level of support is one reason we feel confident offering graduate-level therapy as part of the Marble Wellness continuum of care.
You’re working with your therapist—but your therapist has a team supporting them.
Affordable Therapy vs. Working With a Licensed Therapist
Marble Wellness offers both graduate-level therapy and private-pay therapy with licensed clinicians.
Sessions with our graduate clinicians are $60 per session, while sessions with our licensed therapists generally range from $125–$200, depending on the clinician and service.
The best option isn’t necessarily the least expensive or the most expensive.
It’s the clinician whose training, experience, personality, areas of focus, and availability are appropriate for what you need.
A graduate clinician may be a great fit if your concerns fall within their areas of training and you’re looking for a more affordable way to access consistent therapy.
A licensed Marble Wellness therapist may be more appropriate if you’re seeking a particular specialty, advanced clinical training, a specific therapeutic modality, or a clinician with more extensive experience treating complex concerns.
You don’t have to figure that out by yourself.
Our intake team can learn about what you’re experiencing and help you explore the options available at Marble Wellness.

Are counseling interns qualified to provide therapy?
Graduate counseling interns are clinicians completing the supervised clinical portion of their professional education. They provide services within the scope of their education and training and under the supervision required by their graduate programs and applicable professional requirements.
At Marble Wellness, our graduate clinicians also receive significant clinical support, consultation, and training from experienced members of our licensed clinical team.
Are Marble Wellness interns supervised?
Yes. Marble Wellness graduate clinicians receive ongoing clinical supervision as part of their internship experience. Supervision gives developing therapists regular opportunities to review their clinical work, strengthen their skills, think carefully about treatment, and receive guidance from experienced clinicians.

There are differences. Graduate clinicians are still completing their professional education and supervised clinical training, while licensed therapists have completed the education, supervised experience, examinations, and other requirements associated with their professional licenses.
For many common therapy concerns, a well-supported graduate clinician may be an excellent option. Other clients may benefit from a therapist with more extensive experience or specialized training.
