Associateships

& Internships

We offer psychological associateships and internships for psychological associates (Psy.D, Ph.D) and AMFT’s, ACSW’s, and APCC’s.

Our training is rooted in the psychodynamic/attachment tradition. Each week we provide one hour of individual supervision and one hour of psychodynamic didactic (including group supervision and case conference). Our goal is to provide supervisees with strong footing in a theoretical orientation that can be the basis for doing open-ended long-term work in a private practice setting.

We provide training and support for practice-building, with the assumption that most of our supervisees are approaching this associateship without prior business experience. We provide the tools you need to get your practice launched: an electronic medical record for notes, billing, and scheduling, a HIPAA-compliant email and phone, and a directory listing.

We are committed to fair and equitable treatment of associates/interns. We offer a competitive fee split, with associates taking home 55% of their earnings. We also provide you with all the tools needed to get your practice up and running — a listing on a top online therapist directory, EHR software for notes, scheduling, and billing, and an active business phone number and email address.

If you want to apply to work with us please email admin@bravespacetherapy.com a copy of your CV or resume, as well as a paragraph about your experience and interest in working with psychodynamic theories.

Seeing through the forrest

Practice-building

  • Competitive fee split of 55/45 — 55% going to the supervisee. Supervisees are also compensated for workable hours (writing notes and attending supervision/didactic).

  • First priority for referrals received by the practice.

  • Training in how to copywrite and market for online therapy directories and a bio for our website.

  • Assistance with identifying and leaning into niche and specialty areas.

  • Supervisees are directed toward a number of resources for referrals.

  • Training in using the practice’s electronic health record to write notes, manage appointments, and bill for sessions.

Depth Therapy

  • The skills supervisees are taught related to depth/psychodynamic therapies include:

    • Moving clients from logical understanding to emotional awareness through experiential interventions.

    • Gaining proficiency in identifying client attachment dynamics through understanding transference & countertransference patterns.

    • Learning to bring ones authentic presence into sessions, while distinguishing boundaries with self-disclosure and authenticity.

    • Integrating a client-centered and trauma-informed approach, moving away from prescriptive treatments.

Supervision

  • We offer weekly didactic and supervision:

    • Individual supervision is focused on the unique needs and goals of the supervisee. We use a developmental approach, meaning we strive to meet supervisees at their level to collaboratively identify and work through the supervisees growth-edges.

    • Teaching didactics: Half our didactic time is devoted to instruction about topics related to psychodynamic theory and practice-building.

    • Case conference/group supervision: Didactic time is also devoted to practicing psychodynamic concepts via case conference and group supervision.
