Our clinic fosters professional development through balanced and extensive supervision that affords consistent guidance, encouragement for self-reflection and awareness, and support for increased autonomy and growth - all under the umbrella of psychodynamic clinical training. The established clinical training program at SVPS maintains the utmost attention to current research and literature, considerations for diversity, effective multidisciplinary collaboration, and professional ethics. We strive to provide the highest quality psychodynamic training environment and rich clinical opportunities that propel residents into creative, unique, and fulfilling careers in clinical psychology. In order to support the overarching goals of the Clinical Psychology Training Program, our year-long curriculum includes many clinically diverse components. Interns provide a broad range of psychodynamic treatment services at our outpatient clinic, including non-directive play therapy, psychodynamic-oriented individual psychotherapy, family psychotherapy, group psychotherapy, couples therapy, and parent guidance services, as well as conduct comprehensive diagnostic evaluations incorporating psychological, neuropsychological, therapeutic, and developmental facets of assessment. On a weekly basis, residents participate in therapy supervision, diagnostic supervision, group supervision, and didactic and experiential seminars that include rotating clinical topics, case presentations, and trainings emphasizing the integration of professional literature and clinical practice. SVPS also offers specialized programming, in which interns are encouraged to engage, including: Circle of Security© Parenting Education Groups, Developmental & Special Needs Psychological Services, Pre- and Post-Adoption Psychological Services, Social Skills Groups for Kids & Teens, Adult Stress Management Groups, Program Development & Evaluation, Outcome Research, Consultation to Professionals, Consultation to Schools, Community Presentations, Outreach, and Professional Training Initiatives. Please note that SVPS specifically offers formal training from a psychodynamic lens, with a particular emphasis on attachment-based approaches. Thus, only applicants who have had prior experience and/or are interested in acquiring a background working from these theoretical perspectives will be considered for review.
