About The Position

This is a one-year, full-time, salaried postdoctoral psychology fellowship at Lorenz Clinic of Family Psychology, a training institution with a clinical practice. The fellowship is APPIC-listed with Couple and Family Psychology as the declared Major Area of Study. Fellows are integrated into the organization's trajectory, contributing clinically, supervisorily, and within the training community. The role involves carrying a direct clinical caseload, supervising a practicum student, co-facilitating a seminar, holding a consultation group, and participating in a didactic seminar series. The fellowship is designed to provide rigorous relational and systemic formation and supports those oriented toward Couple and Family Psychology or ABPP board certification.
