Clinical apprenticeship for psychologists committed to depth, rigor, and ethical practice
The Clinical Psychology Apprenticeship Program is an 18-month post-licensure specialization (residency) designed for early-career psychologists seeking advanced training in clinical psychology through structured supervision, practice, and professional development.
The Clinical Psychology Apprenticeship Program is a post-licensure training program designed to bridge the transition from entry-level practice to competent, ethical, and independent clinical work. The program provides structured exposure to real-world clinical settings while maintaining clear supervision, accountability, and professional standards.
Through an integrated combination of didactic learning, supervised practice, and case-based training, apprentices deepen their clinical reasoning, therapeutic skills, and professional identity as clinical psychologists.
This program is not a certification course, but a residency-level specialization intended to strengthen competence, confidence, and ethical maturity in clinical practice.
