🌿 Affordable Therapy in East Nashville
At Experience Therapy Group, we believe that mental health is a priority and should be accessible to everyone. That’s one of the many reasons why we offer low fee, affordable therapy with our graduate student interns, who provide high-quality therapy at a reduced rate of $65 or less per session.
Intern therapists are a great option for individuals, couples, and teens who are looking for a great therapist but may be navigating financial constraints and need affordable therapy options. Whether you’re dealing with a specific challenge – anxiety, relationship issues, trauma – or just need a space to feel seen, our interns are here to help.
🧑‍🎓 What is a Student Intern Therapist?
Our interns are Master’s-level students in accredited counseling and marriage & family therapy programs. They’re in the final stages of clinical training and:
Offer real therapy sessions to clients
Receive weekly supervision from licensed therapists on our team AND from their graduate school professors
Are committed to ethical, inclusive, and trauma-informed care
Often bring fresh perspectives, curiosity, and deep empathy
- Have unique life experience that enriches their connection to their clients
Interns are a vital part of our practice—and many of our former interns have gone on to join our team as full-time licensed therapists.

🤔 Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is intern therapy really therapy?
Yes. You’ll be meeting with a therapist-in-training who is completing their clinical hours. Sessions are real, confidential, and supervised for your safety and benefit.
Q: Who supervises the interns?
All interns are supervised by a licensed therapist at Experience Therapy Group with advanced training in trauma, couples therapy, and experiential approaches, as well as qualified faculty members within their Master’s program.
Q: Do interns see couples or just individuals?
Some interns see both! Please check their bio or contact us to learn more.
Q: Can I switch to a licensed therapist later?
Yes. Some clients begin with an intern and transition to a licensed therapist when their financial situation changes or if they desire a different clinical approach. Although, we’ve found that most clients choose to stay with their intern therapist once they get started.
