Liberty Healthcare seeks applicants for a Clinical Doctoral Internship in Psychology at the Illinois Department of Human Services Treatment & Detention Facility located in Rushville, Illinois.
The Treatment & Detention Facility is a state-of-the-art secure residential treatment facility which provides a wide array of mental health services to over 500 detained and civilly committed adult sexual offenders.
Clinical services at the facility are provided by Liberty Healthcare’s dedicated and talented team which is comprised of over forty Psychologists, Clinical Social Workers, Professional Counselors, Psychiatrists and Recreation Therapists.
The Facility is located in the town of Rushville in west central Illinois. Rushville is commutable from Macomb (home of Western Illinois University) and Springfield (the State Capital). Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis and the Quad Cities are all within a few hours drive.
This is a one-year Psychology Internship which commences in August 2026 and ends in August 2027. At the completion of the one-year program, Interns will be considered for continued employment with Liberty Healthcare and any available clinical staff positions.
Clinical duties include co-facilitating sex offender specific group treatment (approximately 15 hours per week), managing a primary caseload of approximately 15 residents, including treatment planning and case conceptualizing. However, the primary caseload is not individual therapy but involves case management tasks, with the Resident being seen on an as needed basis. Doctoral Interns are also responsible for completing a minimum of six in-depth psychological batteries during the training year, as well as few cognitive assessments. All Interns also receive a minimum of two hours of licensed supervision each week, one from the Director of Training & Research and another from a Licensed Psychologist on staff.
Our program offers extensive training in working with civilly committed sexual offenders. Interns engage in a two week orientation to the program and them a minimum of one week observing therapy groups before co-facilitating a group. In addition all groups that Interns are involved with are co-facilitated with a seasoned therapist throughout the year. Experience with sexual offenders is not necessary for being an Intern in our program. Further, experience with the Rorschach is preferred, but it is not necessary to be an Intern in our program.
