Interning at Calm Clinic as a Wellness coach was beyond my expectations! Not only did I learn more about holistic practices in mental wellness, but I was given knowledge on the foundation and skills of counseling skills. As an undergrad who is pursuing graduate school for mental health counseling, Calm Clinic provided me a lot of experience in the field, the business and I was able to take home skills and knowledge.
As a psychology major, working with Calm Clinic exposed me to a whole new area of research in Psychological interventions and treatments: Ketamine therapy. Calm Clinic and their D.O., Dr. Zand, is one of the pioneer physicians paving the way to implementing this treatment with those who have previous medications that failed to treat patients. To be a part of a clinic that is making active progress in finding new treatments is an exciting feeling and it showed me to be comfortable with being in "unknown" territory.
I also was able to learn how to create informational graphics discussing mental health. This experience taught me how to hold myself accountable and set goals for myself, while honing my technology skills further! Attached are the fliers that I made and I am very proud of the outcome.
For those in the mental health field, Calm Clinic is making great strides in both research and psychiatry. Their mission is described as, "Achieve Mental Clarity, Inner Peace, and Overall Happiness", which in their projects and daily actions; it is very apparent that they are realizing their mission.
Hi Elijah! I’m glad that you had a valuable experience at the Calm Clinic and that it exceeded your expectations. I love what their overall mission is and that it’s truly inspiring. Overall, I’m happy that you’ve gained knowledge and experience from this internship.
