What You’ll Develop

Our training pillars

Advanced Clinical Practice

Advanced skills in evidence-based psychotherapy, case conceptualization, ethical decision-making, and treatment planning — with a diverse outpatient caseload and progressively increasing clinical responsibility.

Culturally Responsive Care

Therapy that honors clients’ cultural identities, languages, lived experiences, and communities. Multilingual fellows may provide psychotherapy in additional languages, with consultation from Banyan clinicians across Mandarin, Cantonese, Spanish, Korean, and Japanese.

Supervision & Consultation

Two hours of weekly individual supervision, one hour of weekly group supervision, interdisciplinary clinic consultation and a postdoc & practicum student consultation group, alternating biweekly, plus a year-long didactic training series designed to complement clinical work and support development as an independent psychologist.

Leadership Development

Mentorship, program development, community outreach, and opportunities to lead groups, mentor practicum students, and shape the future of the practice.
