Our
Clinical Interns
Graduate Level Interns
We are very excited to have Master level interns available and providing clinical services for our community! These interns are in a graduate level program and placed with us to obtain clinical experience. They receive weekly supervision with Jessica Cauthorne, LCSW, RPT. They are often placed with us for 6-12 months of experience, after which clients are transferred to another provider for continued care if needed.
Our clinical interns will provide individual, relational and group therapy for our community. In addition to working individually, our clinical interns will offer co-therapy sessions with our licensed therapists.
Co-therapy appointments allow individuals, couples, and families to obtain the benefit and experience of two perspectives as the clinical process unfolds. They consist of a Master’s level clinician and a clinical intern, who closely collaborate in assessing and treating patient concerns. The objective is to provide effective therapy, help our patients reach their treatment goals, and provide our interns with ongoing training opportunities.
If insurance is an issue, our interns offer limited discounted self-pay rate session times for those without insurance or who may not want to utilize their insurance. We also have a limited number of time slots for pro bono services. If you are interested in these services, please contact the office at 575-556-9585 to discuss options and availability.
Meet The Team
Ashen Montgomery
LMSW Clinical Intern
she/her/hers
As an intern in counseling and art therapy, I draw on a background in mentoring and coaching young adults to support their spiritual, personal, social, and academic goals. My approach integrates traditional counseling techniques with the transformative power of art, aiming to create a holistic therapeutic experience. Since September 2021, I have been enrolled in the Art Therapy and Counseling program at Southwestern College in Santa Fe, NM, enhancing my ability to foster well-being through creative expression and evidence-based counseling practices. This program equips me to create a nurturing environment where clients can authentically explore and express themselves.
I believe in the innate healing potential within each individual. Art is a unique tool for clients to navigate and process complex emotions, fostering insights and resilience. I am dedicated to cultivating a space where creativity acts as a catalyst for personal growth, empowering individuals to discover new possibilities and pathways to healing.
Our Master level interns often have quick availability for intakes, providing increased accessibility of services for those willing to provide this experience for them.
