Clinical Telehealth Internship
January 2026
Are you passionate about contributing to a queer- and trans-led organization dedicated to shaping the future of affirming mental health care?
Intern With Us!
Femme and Them, PLLC is a telehealth-only, insurance-based group practice dedicated to providing supportive and inclusive therapy services to LGBTQIA+ clients and their families throughout Washington State. We're thrilled to invite Master's-level Clinical Social Work & Counseling students to join our team! This internship offers an incredible opportunity to gain hands-on experience in direct therapy while working alongside experienced professionals in a collaborative setting.
We are looking for someone eager to grow into an eclectic practitioner through learning from clients and self-study, with a focus on cultural humility, non-Western and/or decolonial perspectives, and respect for the lived experiences of the communities we serve. The ideal candidate will provide compassionate client-centered therapy for individuals, families, couples, polycules, and/or other non-traditional family systems. Success in this role requires strong critical thinking, self-direction, curiosity, a willingness to learn, medium technical proficiency, and the ability to work effectively in a remote environment.
The Communities You’ll Support
Our practice centers communities who are often underserved. You’ll make a meaningful impact with:
The full spectrum of LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, and families
Neurodivergent clients who deserve to be understood, not “fixed”
Trauma survivors reclaiming their narratives
Polyamorous, ethically non-monogamous, and kink communities
Perinatal Mental Health (PMH) clients navigating pregnancy, postpartum, loss, and parenting transitions
Transgender teens and adults across the lifespan
Medicaid and commercial insurance clients who may otherwise struggle to find affirming care in-network
