Thank you for your interest in an intern position with Olive Counseling Center. We are a faith-based organization and believe there is a depth of pain that only God can reach. We start the interview process by having potential interns submit a testimony on how they came to know the Lord and also share what is God doing in your life now. We feel the power of hope in our own lives is where we begin in giving quality care to our clients. Your written testimony does not have to be long, just a couple of paragraphs, or however long you need. Along with your testimony below, please upload a copy of your resume. We look forward to receiving both items and will be in touch soon!
