“We offer our interns a challenging, intensive clinical experience with an immense amount of training, an increasing level of responsibility, and the support of team members who care deeply about their work,” says Adult Program Clinical Manager Melanie Sudia, MSW, LCSW, who supervises interns together with Ashley Shanahan, MA, LPC, ATR-BC, ACS, Clinical Manager of the Women’s Program.
At Eatontown, interns gain a comfort level in working with patients at varying levels of acuity. After an extensive training period, they co-lead and eventually run groups. As they grow and learn, they also motivate and inspire staff.
“We believe in the work we’re doing, so it only makes sense to invest in our future professionals,” adds Sudia. “The effort we put in here sets the foundation for the betterment of our broader society.”
