You have experienced and are interested in developing an expertise in empirically supported treatments including CBT, ERP, and ACT
You are client-oriented and interested in making a difference in people’s lives.
You are interested in functional assessment and chain analysis of clients’ problematic behaviors (instead of guessing what they’re struggling with)
You are interested in presenting at different national and international conferences (instead of spending energy on projects that collect dust)
You are organized and interested in being part of a small and fun group of clinicians working in private practice (without the bureaucracy of an agency)
You are dedicated to staying on top of the latest research in the field of clinical psychology, continuing skill development and training, and becoming skilled at implementing this knowledge with our clients.
You’re committed to 1.5 – 2 years.
Here are the advantages of working with us
You develop expertise in the assessment and treatment of OCD, anxiety, and emotion regulation problems.
