Practicum & Post-Grad Clinical Opportunities at Roswell MindCare

Graduate Assistantship, None

Looking to mentor a motivated MSW student for a practicum placement or a new graduate (LMSW) ready to begin their journey toward clinical licensure.

We provide a neurodiverse-affirming, relational space for teens (14+) and adults. Our practice moves away from “performing” therapy; instead, we help clients feel at home in their own skin through:

  • Neurodiverse-Affirming Care: Addressing sensory needs, ADHD, and the process of “unmasking.”
  • Relational Generalist Work: Navigating anxiety, trauma, and identity exploration.

We offer a relaxed, grounded environment where a new clinician can truly find their professional voice under direct LCSW supervision.

Please see attached flyer.
