I was an intern at the Nest part time in the fall of 2010 and full time in the spring of 2011. It has been a special experience for me, as this is the first glimpse at my new profession of counseling. I've learned so much being there because I was able to counsel, lead groups, and conduct assessments for the parenting side and the domestic violence side of the organization. It is such a unique agency in that it really there is an abundance of different services offered right there on site. Another thing that makes the Nest so unique is the passion to serve their clients that is evident among the staff. I hope to stay involved at the Nest. It was a great experience!
