Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Clinical Psychology

The fellowship training aims to facilitate continued growth and professional competence in the areas of individual and group psychotherapy, intake evaluation and treatment planning, risk assessment and crisis intervention, interdisciplinary collaboration and consultation, campus outreach and education, and professional ethics in a college mental health setting working predominantly with an emerging adult population. All training activities underscore a commitment to diversity, social justice and the importance of building multicultural competence, including awareness of, and ongoing reflection regarding, one’s own social/cultural identities and how they may influence one’s clinical work.

Below is a list of program components and expectations for fellows:

1. Provide approx. 20-25 direct service clinical hours per week, including at least one intake per week
