Body-based & sensory skills

A caseload that fits your goals

Fellowship Experience
This fellowship focuses on therapy and diagnostic/clinical assessment. There is not a testing component. The fellow will provide individual therapy for adults (only) or adolescents/adults with a wide-range of concerns. In addition to solidifying knowledge and experience in general clinical practice, fellows may choose to gain specialization in eating disorders, couples therapy, trauma, perinatal/postpartum concerns, or OCD/exposure/response prevention. In addition, fellows may have opportunities to lead/co-lead group therapy sessions.
Apply
Applicants from members of under-represented groups including minorities are especially encouraged to apply. Interested applicants should send a cover letter, resume, and 2 letters of recommendation to Dr. Beth Pearson at .
Ideal Candidates
This fellowship is ideally suited for a psychologist who wants to join a group practice in the future. There will be opportunities for professional development- to learn about the business aspects of a group practice including ethical considerations, finances/billing, and program development. Candidates who will thrive in this fellowship are those that a) embrace the complexity of the human condition and are able to conceptualize and treatment plan from a comprehensive range of perspectives and b) are passionate about learning from others and working collaboratively with others.
Following the fellowship, there may be an opportunity to join Arbor Psychology Group as a fully licensed team member.
