Supervision & Interships
Whether you’re a graduate student looking for a practicum or internship experience, or a licensed clinician seeking supervision, The Counseling Center at Fellowship has a place for you. In partnership with Castleman Counseling, we offer a formation-focused environment where clinicians at every stage of training are supported, challenged, and equipped to do meaningful work.
Supervision
We offer supervision for associate licensed and licensed clinicians who want to continue growing under skilled, intentional guidance.
Eleah Hyatt supervises AMFTs as well as runs a supervision group for licensed and associate licensed clinicians.
Shonda Vaughn and Angela Scruggs offer supervision for LPC associates.
Lindsey Castleman brings deep clinical expertise in EFT, IFS, and attachment-based models, with a supervision style that is direct, supportive, and focused on the whole person of the therapist. She supervises those who are looking for EFT certification or EFT supervision certification. At this moment she does not supervise any associate licensed supervisees unless they are in her group practice.
Internships
Castleman Counseling is currently accepting applications for practicum and internship placements beginning May 2027. This is a fast-paced, community-oriented experience designed for clinicians-in-training who want more than a box to check — they want to be shaped into the therapist they’re called to be.
Please read below carefully to make sure that this is a place you feel called to be! Also check out our internship FAQ’s below as well.
Is Our Internship a Fit for You?
Hungry. You want to learn, take on challenging clients, and grow beyond your comfort zone.
Humble. You see this work as a calling, not a platform — and you show up as a team player who keeps the client at the center.
Smart. You can problem-solve, pivot when needed, and manage your time and responsibilities well.
Available. You can offer at least 4 hours on a Saturday or Sunday, as well as one evening a week, commit to monthly trainings and supervision on Thursdays, and participate in our February and September marriage intensives and our annual February therapist workshop.
Grounded in faith. You love Jesus and wholeheartedly follow Him. You align with Fellowship Bible Church’s mission, beliefs and values and see your work as an extension of that.
Clinically curious. You’re drawn to attachment-based, systemic approaches that address the root — not just the behavior.
In it for the long haul. Practicum and internship together are a minimum of one year — because real formation takes time.
If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.

What Former Interns Are Saying
Frequently Asked Questions
- What will my indirect hours look like?We’re committed to preparing our interns for the real-world of counseling. That includes the behind-the-scenes work that keeps The Counseling Center running well. Indirect hours include four main areas of responsibility:
- Center Upkeep — Helping maintain a clean, welcoming counseling space and keeping common areas, supplies, and equipment stocked and tidy.
- Administrative Support — Assisting with supply ordering, coordinating meals for trainings, and managing slides for our waiting room.
- Events & Workshops — Supporting the planning and execution of our Created for Connection workshop, hosted twice a year, and events in collaboration with Fellowship Bible Church.
- Ongoing Training — Attending twice-monthly program trainings and a monthly skills meeting with your intern coordinator, plus occasional opportunities to serve the broader church.
- What’s the culture like at a group practice?
Warm, collaborative, and intentional. Our team stays connected through Slack throughout the week, consults regularly, and refers to one another often. We also make time to actually enjoy each other — through workout challenges, team hangs, and other moments that remind us we’re not in this alone.
- What does it mean to be a faith-based practice?
We approach counseling through a Christian worldview, creating space for clients to integrate their faith into the therapeutic process when they desire. We believe God is foundational to health, healing, and wholeness — and we partner with Fellowship Bible Church, aligning with their mission and vision. Our clinical work is evidence-based, ethical, and always client-led.
- What does supervision look like?
Interns receive two hours of supervision with Lindsey Castleman every other week. Her approach is direct and supportive, with a strong focus on case conceptualization, skill development, and person-of-the-therapist work. Her clinical training includes EFT, IFS, and other attachment-based models.
- Will I get enough clinical hours?
Yes. We’re intentional about how many interns we accept, and we have strong community referral sources that have consistently allowed us to provide interns with the hours they need to meet graduation requirements.
- What are the time commitments for interns?
Interns serve 8–10 hours per week during practicum and 12–15 hours per week during internship, with at least four of those hours on a weekend and four during evenings. You’ll also attend two monthly program trainings, a monthly skills meeting, our annual February training event, and two marriage intensives per year.
