Clinical Psychology Private Practice Fellowship, Colorado

Abbott Therapeutic Solutions is an innovative evidence-based private practice serving clients with complex and difficult-to-treat problems. The goals of Abbott Therapeutic Solutions’ Clinical Psychology Fellowship are to provide advanced training for early career psychologists who have an interest in working with dynamic clinical populations, and to help further the skills, knowledge, and professional competence necessary to treat challenging clinical presentations. The fellowship is full-time and requires a two-year commitment. We offer the opportunities of a private practice setting (flexible schedule, vacation time, and caseload, etc.) without the administrative and business overhead. All clinicians are encouraged to pursue their own clinical interests. 

We are an innovative and evidence-based private practice serving clients who suffer from PTSD, substance use disorders, suicidality and self-injury, personality disorders, anxiety, and mood disorders. We work from a cognitive behavioral and constructivist orientation (CBT, DBT, MI, PE, ACT, EMDR) and run a comprehensive DBT program. Fellows will have the opportunity to work with a broad range of age groups and evidence-based treatment interventions. Fellows will also be supported in pursuing their own clinical interests. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a primary treatment modality at Abbott Therapeutic Solutions, and a full range of adherent DBT services are provided. Interested fellows will receive extensive training in DBT and will work as an integral part of the DBT treatment team. They will participate in weekly DBT team meetings, will have the opportunity to facilitate DBT skills groups, and will provide individual therapy and skills coaching to DBT clients. Psychological and neuropsychological testing is an optional experience for those with an interest and the requisite experience in administration, interpretation, and report writing. 

Quality supervision (both individual and group) is seen as a critical and valued component of training. Fellows will be directly supported by an individual licensed supervisor. Through a close supervisory relationship fellows will develop the advanced skills and professional competency necessary to successfully treat complex clinical presentations. Fellows will receive a competitive compensation package and will work in our downtown Boulder, CO office.
