About The Position

Lakeview Center provides comprehensive behavioral health care to adults and children with mental illnesses, drug and alcohol dependencies, and intellectual disabilities. Its Northwest Florida services include residential treatment, outpatient counseling, psychiatry, trauma care, substance misuse treatment, and 24/7 support for people with serious mental illnesses. Level III internships are advanced supervised learning experiences for students enrolled in a public or accredited private academic institution and pursuing graduate-level counseling, social work, or similar programs. Interns gain experience through supervised clinical practice, direct client service, and professional skill development through interdisciplinary collaboration. Approved activities may include co-facilitation, exposure to treatment planning, documentation practices, and other supervised behavioral health services. Interns apply graduate-level academic knowledge in professional behavioral healthcare settings while developing clinical competencies under supervision. Educational pathways may include Master of Social Work, Master of Counseling, and Master of Marriage and Family Therapy students. Internship opportunities depend on departmental availability and supervisory capacity, and placement is not guaranteed. Applicants apply online through the LifeView Group careers website. A Level II background screening and drug testing are required. Lakeview Center is an equal opportunity employer; individuals with disabilities and veterans are encouraged to apply.
