“As an intern, it is nerve-wracking to find someone willing to invest in your career and trust you, and thankfully, that was all of you. This opportunity has been incredibly fulfilling and eye-opening. MFC provided me with a great perspective on what to expect as a therapist and from an employer and colleagues: care, support, honesty, strength, and so much more.”
