Psychology Post-Doctorate
Clinical Activities
Clinical activities include the following: intake assessment, crisis intervention (On-Call Counselor), ongoing brief and longer-term individual psychotherapy, couples counseling (when possible) and group psychotherapy. Outreach activities include provision of presentations and university consultation/liaison services. Post-Docs participate with staff in regularly scheduled staff meetings and professional development seminars. Further, when possible, Post-Docs are given the opportunity to participate in the administrative planning of the agency by providing leadership to identified service delivery programs (e.g., chairing/co-chairing a service delivery team such as outreach). In addition to providing didactic seminars to various training groups at CAPS, Post-Docs are given the opportunity to facilitate process-oriented training modules and supervise individual trainees whenever possible.
Training Component
Weekly individual face-to-face supervision, individual supervision for group therapy, and individual supervision for other clinical as well as outreach/programmatic opportunities listed above.
