Therapy Intern - Spring 2026 at BasePoint Academy in McKinney, TX

BasePoint Academy mission is to bring accessible, understandable, efficient and effective behavioral healthcare to our patients and their families. Our caring licensed counselors, social workers, nurse practitioners and psychiatrists have been providing state of the art patient centric care for over a decade. At BasePoint Academy, we are committed to providing the highest quality treatments utilizing evidence-based principles in a family oriented, safe environment.

At BasePoint Academy, servant leadership is a philosophy in which the main goal of the leader is to serve. This is different from traditional leadership which typically employs a top-down leadership model. Our leaders put the needs of others first and help people develop and perform as highly as possible. This takes shape in all staff town halls, employee surveys, discussing company financials, employee recognition programs among many other initiatives.
Employees are the most important people in the organization because they take care of our patients.
