What if recommendation letters are basically the same?

Man, I haven’t been on here in like, 4 years when I got help settling into college. Now I’m back and looking for grad schools!

Anyway, just a question…nothing that major. I recently interned at this place where I worked with two psychologists helping out kids with mental disabilities. I figure I’d asked them for recs since I did work closely with them. I’m gonna assume they would look practically the same since we were all the in the same room and so they would have the same experiences with me. Will grad schools look at these together differently than if the recs were from two different professors? Or is it it a case of a rec letter is a rec letter so it’s all good. I do plan on having one or two prof recs from last year, but I just have a curious mind about these things.
