Position Summary
The post-doctoral Staff Therapist is designed for individuals who are interested in providing therapy, supervision, and training in a counseling center with a diverse population of students with an emphasis on multiculturalism and social justice. The fellowship has an emphasis on clinical service delivery, with opportunity to deepen outreach/consultation and supervision/training skills. While we pride ourselves on a fellowship that provides a breadth of experience common to clinicians in a university setting, we are pleased to offer opportunities to Fellows to focus on an area of specialty.

In summer, provide 2 hours of supervision/triage coverage which includes providing clinical consultation to Interns.

Supervise two advanced doctoral psychotherapy externs (one per semester) on half of their individual psychotherapy caseload. Other supervision/training opportunities, such as for specialty outreach programs or group therapy, may also be available.

Co-lead a training seminar with a staff member; seminar leadership will be informed by the Fellow's specialty interests and seminar availability. Potential options include Multicultural Seminar, Supervision of Supervision seminar, Outreach seminar, and Relationship Therapy seminar.

Develop/provide 3 outreach programs over the course of the year with additional involvement in the Counseling Center informational presentations held in early fall and orientation activities held in summer.

Present in the Professional Issues Seminar for trainees and staff on a topic of emerging expertise.
