Fellowship Experience

This fellowship focuses on deepening and advancing therapeutic skills and diagnostic/clinical assessment/conceptualization. (There is not a testing component.) Fellows can choose to provide individual therapy for a wide range of concerns for adults, adolescents/adults, children/adolescents, or a combination of the entire lifespan. Fellows have flexibility and can give input on how to balance their caseload & what types of concerns and populations they want to work with. In addition to solidifying knowledge and experience in general clinical practice, fellows may choose to gain specialization in eating disorders, couples therapy, trauma-focused treatment, perinatal/postpartum concerns, or OCD/exposure/response prevention. In addition, fellows may have opportunities to lead/co-lead group therapy sessions.

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.

Following the fellowship, there may be an opportunity to join Arbor Psychology Group as a fully licensed team member.
