Counseling with Interns
Mara Grace Counseling offers counseling services through two levels of trained interns — master's level student interns and Registered Mental Health Counselor Interns (RMHCIs). Both bring strong clinical foundations, a genuine dedication to the therapeutic process, and the ability to work with children, adolescents, and adults across a wide range of life experiences and needs. All intern services are provided under the direct supervision of Dr. Mara Mesa,
our Founder, Clinical Director, Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and Qualified Supervisor.
Dr. Mesa remains actively involved in treatment planning, case consultation, training, and mentorship - ensuring every client receives attentive, high-quality care.
