Commitment to Psychotherapy

Our program has a commitment to training our residents to be able to practice psychotherapy and to value its contributions to mental health.  Some of the steps we have taken include

• Our 2^nd year residents have an optional semester long psychotherapy clinic with cases primarily in need of supportive therapy. 
• Our 3^rd year residents receive two hours of individual psychotherapy supervision per week. 
• We require 3^rd year residents to do a minimum of 120 hours of psychotherapy in their third year and 75 hours in their fourth year.
• All residents have a group therapy experience in their 3^rd year
• Our didactic curriculum includes seminars in Supportive Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectial Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Couple's Therapy, and more. 
• 4^th year residents have the option to add a psychotherapy focus in their 4^th years.
