Optional opportunities for a specialty track:

For the 2023-2024 postdoctoral training year, we are excited to offer two areas of clinical specialty. These tracks are optional and will be tailored to the Fellow’s specific training and professional goals.

The fellow on this track would have the opportunity to co-facilitate three weekly psychotherapy groups and receive supervision from a CGP certified (or eligible) supervisor. The fellow will also co-facilitate the fall group therapy seminar for interns. There are opportunities to join established therapy groups at the Center, and support to Fellows to create their own specialty focus (eg., grief group). This track will be available to one postdoctoral fellow in the 2023-2024 year.

This focus will also include co-facilitating a training seminar (Outreach Seminar or Multicultural seminar pending the Fellow’s specialty focus) with a staff member.
