Cooper’s Answer

Depending on where you are in your career, especially if you are early in your career, you may have to get creative with finding an internship. I would suggest researching psychology and sociology companies in your area and emailing them to see if they have any work you can do. Even if you can follow someone around for the day, or just work part time, it could be a valuable experience to "get your foot in the door". Even if this is just a basic experience, it may be a good learning experience to see what these fields look like. It's possible you learn more about the field and decide you don't actually find psychology/sociology interesting.

Sarah’s Answer

One thing you could do is to look at the large medical institutions with specific psych departments (NYU, Mount Sinai, NewYork-Presbyterian, etc.) and email contacts at said departments; pitch yourself and your experience and briefly outline why you'd make a great intern. If you don't hear back, set a reminder to follow up! It can take a good number of emails/applications to get an internship, so I encourage you not to get discouraged and to continue to reach out and apply. Best of luck!
