Loma Linda VA Medical Center is ACT friendly and providers in ACT have grown there in the last several years. There are multiple opportunities - we have an APA approved internship program which involves specific rotations in evidenced based services CBT/ACT/DBT which usually last 4 months or longer. There is also a postdoctoral fellowship position which involves 1 year of more intensive work with ACT and some opportunities with DBT. There are a number of supervisors that have been trained and certified through the VA national roll out in ACT.
Current opportunities include:
ACT group for Anxiety/Depression
ACT group for PTSD (MST patients primarily)
Involvement in Wellness College (recovery-oriented groups designed to help Veterans who are “stuck” to gain skills and transition into the community using ACT and DBT approach).
Opportunities to see ACT individual patients.
