Program Description

Deep Eddy Psychotherapy values community, diversity, equity, personal growth, and excellence in the care we provide each other and our clients.  Our Psychology Internship strives to help our team members become the best versions of themselves – personally and professionally – as they promote the wellbeing of our fellow Texans through trauma-informed, strength-based, equitable, antiracist, restorative justice, and healing services. 

Doctoral Internship Program

The Doctoral Internship Program at the Deep Eddy Psychotherapy is designed to provide advanced graduate students, just before receiving their doctorates, a focused and intensive experience in various clinical modalities, including providing individual counseling, consultation, assessment, and couples and group counseling. We offer cutting-edge training in depth-oriented interventions for people across the lifespan.  Our team of expert psychologists is here to provide mentorship, technical training, and guidance in therapy for individuals, couples, and groups. 

Our cohort model creates connection and support as you make the final steps towards licensure.  We ensure that all fellows meet all licensure requirements for practicing psychology in the state of Texas. Our program specifically works as an onramp for our Postdoctoral Fellowship – if the internship goes well, you can stay on and complete all licensure requirements and advanced training through our postdoctoral program!

 

Deep Eddy Psychotherapy's Doctoral Internship Program submitted an accreditation self-study to APA and received authorization for a site visit. Please be advised that submission of self-study and site visit authorization does not guarantee success with accreditation.

Our Ideal Applicant

Our practice is growing in response to demand for high-quality therapy.  So, we hope to invest in clinicians who are interested in staying with us in Austin after their internship and postdoc years (if it feels like a good fit).  One of the best parts about working here is our sense of community and connectedness.  Our practice excels at what we do in part because of our support system of colleagues and friends. We hope you get to experience that during the internship and postdoctoral year and make Austin, TX and Deep Eddy your long-term home. 

We are particularly interested in applicants who are open to working with clients in the here-and-now, using mindfulness, somatic approaches, or experiential forms of therapy.  Deep Eddy Psychotherapy is home to internationally recognized experts in the practice of depth-oriented psychotherapy and group therapy, and we tend to attract people who are looking to expand their skills in those areas.  

We are also hoping to recruit more predoctoral interns who work with kids, teens, and couples, as we often are too full to meet the demand for those services in our community.

 All applications must be submitted through the AAPI Portal. Only applicants from APA accredited academic programs will be considered.
