Each year, two to six graduate students are invited to participate in the training fellowship. The fellowship program at Radical Healing trains clinicians to practice from an anti-oppression, anti-racist lens and from a social justice perspective. Trainees will use an integrated model of DBT, CBT and relational cultural model of care to support a diverse range of clients with marginalized identities, including folx from intersectional queer, trans and gnc identities. The fellowship includes opportunities for clinical supervision, peer supervision and group experience at Radical Healing and when available, a training stipend will be provided for the student to use towards a modality of their choosing. Past attendees have used their stipend to increase their training or certification in DBT, EMDR, CBT.
Psychology (PhD) - APA-aligned internships are currently being explored - stay tuned!
*People of Color is a historical term referring to the shared experience of racism upon minoritized people from the African diaspora, Arabs/Middle Easterners, Latinx peoples, Asian/Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, multiracial people, as well as immigrants and those whose native language is a source of oppression.

Applying to our Program
The training fellowship is an intensive training year with most students seeing on average of 15-20 clients each week in addition to planning and leading groups. Our internship program is designed to ensure all participants excel during their time with us, as each fellowship recipient is expected to directly participate in shaping their education and training contributions.
We seek out graduate students who are independent, self-starters and who are curious, open-minded and open to constructive feedback. Successful applicants will have experience with diagnostic assessment, case notes and have excellent communication and time management skills. Students are expected to see up to 15-20+ clients a week and must have clinical counseling experience prior to our training program.
We are currently accepting applications for Fall 2023-Spring 2024 internship year for Clinical Mental Health Counseling Students, Social Work internship students and Counseling and Clinical Psychology Doctoral Students. Post Doctoral Fellowships are considered on a case by case basis and contingent on organizational capacity.
