Training the brightest minds in the behavioral health field, equipping them with skills for success in the industry.

Ethos Behavioral Health Group is an advocate for continuing education and training in the behavioral health field. We believe that as care providers, it is our duty to go beyond staying current with our industry—we strive to be at the cutting edge of the latest news, practices and research shaping how we deliver care to clients. To carry out this vision, we offer training in-house to the next generation of clinicians through our internship program, and for all professionals through ongoing Continuing Education talks.

INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

Each year, Ethos employs a dozen or so Master’s-level interns to work under the clinical supervision of Ethos Behavioral Health Group directors. The benefits of our prestigious internship program are two-fold: interns continue to deepen their experience giving clinical care while clients have the opportunity to take advantage of sliding scale services carried out by interns. More often than not, the internship program serves as an incubator for the next generation of Lovett clinicians.
