Training mental health professionals is an important part of Riverbend’s mission. We are proud to offer a formal, full-time, year long, training program for doctoral candidates in clinical or counseling psychology. The Internship Program in Professional Psychology (IPPP) is a member of the Association of Psychology Post-doctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC) and is fully accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA). This brochure describes the IPPP and explains procedures for applying.
