Doctoral Psychology Intern

Dr. Inzinna Psychological Services PLLC (DIPS)

Hybrid | Telehealth & Upper East Side, Manhattan | New York State Residency Required

$35,000 Annual Stipend | Full-Time | September 2026 – August 2027

Dr. Inzinna Psychological Services PLLC (DIPS) offers a comprehensive, generalist Doctoral Internship in Health Service Psychology providing advanced training in psychotherapy, psychological assessment, consultation, and professional development within a collaborative hybrid outpatient setting.

The internship is designed to prepare emerging psychologists for competent, ethical, and reflective practice across diverse client populations. Because DIPS accepts insurance and operates via both telehealth and in-person modalities, interns gain rich experience serving culturally and socioeconomically diverse clients, including those who might otherwise face barriers to care.

Interns thrive when they bring curiosity, professionalism, and openness to feedback. Success means developing competence across APA’s nine profession-wide competencies—becoming confident in evidence-based treatment, psychological assessment, ethical decision-making, and cultural humility. Interns who complete this program are well prepared for postdoctoral fellowships and licensure-track positions in health service psychology.
