Pine Grove Behavioral Health and Addiction Services Doctoral Internship in Professional Psychology
Welcome to Pine Grove’s Doctoral Internship in Professional Psychology website. We are currently an APA-approved predoctoral psychology internship listed as the Southern Mississippi Psychology Internship Consortium (SMPIC). We are also a member of APPIC, currently as SMPIC. The other company that was in our consortium withdrew and Pine Grove is running the internship as a single entity as of August 16, 2010. We completed our reaccreditation self-study and had our site visit in June 2011. We hope to hear about reaccreditation in the fall of 2011. Please see further information about Accreditation at the beginning of the Internship Overview section.

We have an excellent internship that offers a wide range of training activities in our four rotations. We are able to offer interns opportunities for training with children and adolescents; with adults in residential and outpatient settings; and a wide range of diagnoses, including behavioral medicine, addictions and personality disorders.
We strive to mentor interns toward greater independence through the year, so that by the end of the internship, interns are ready for independent practice or a post-doctoral year, depending on where the intern is headed. Throughout the intern year, we offer intensive supervision and support.
Please take some time to explore the website, read about our staff, find out about Hattiesburg, and see what we have to offer.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
