At the Center for Clinical Training and Psychotherapy, we believe becoming a great therapist is a process. Its more than learning theory and techniques - it’s about relationships and presence.
Our program is a three-year clinical fellowship designed to shape thoughtful, reflective, and skilled psychotherapists who can thrive in clinical practice and beyond.
Post-graduate fellows are paid clinicians within the practice who maintain a developing caseload of approximately 5–10 clients per week while engaged in the instiute’s training program.
The fellowship curriculum integrates foundational and contemporary scholarship in relational psychotherapy, with readings, lectures, case presentations, and ongoing clinical dialogue designed to deepen both theoretical understanding and therapeutic presence.
Emphasis is placed on the therapeutic relationship as the central catalyst for psychological change.
