IMPACT POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP
Overview
Our thriving group practice, specializing in integrative psychotherapy, offers postdoctoral fellowship positions in Mamaroneck, NY and Beacon, NY. Our postdoctoral fellows work with children, adolescents, and adults, including psychotherapy and psychoeducational testing and assessment. We offer many unique opportunities and a wonderful environment, with supportive, expert supervisors with specialities in psychodynamic psychotherapy, CBT, DBT, attachment-based therapies, and family systems models. We invite applications for full-time postdoctoral positions that begin in September or October of 2025 (upon receipt of limited permit from the Office of Professions). Applications are due December 1, 2024. We offer a competitive pay structure, weekly didactics, multiple forms of supervision, and a warm, collaborative work environment. Incoming postdoctoral fellows work 5 weekdays with occasional weekend hours as needed for testing/assessment.
Program Features
The opportunity to develop greater generalist skills in integrative psychotherapy across the lifespan as well as deepening expertise in a range of areas: child/adolescent work, trauma-informed psychotherapy, DBT for adolescents, therapeutic assessment, working with clients across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, neurodiversity-affirming approaches and much more.
Trainees receive weekly individual and group supervision. Our supervisors are known for their therapeutic and assessment skills and their warm, intellectually rigorous approach to clinical supervision.
Biweekly didactics, a weekly staff meeting, group testing/assessment supervision, and DBT-A Consultation Team with the IMPACT staff are also part of the training.
Psychoeducational testing and personality assessment (including projectives) are core, required components of the postdoctoral fellowship.
Training and coaching using deliberate practice for child therapy, multicultural humility, and psychodynamic psychotherapy.
Lead or co-lead groups for youth in our beautiful offices - groups include social skills, divorce support, and relationship support for teens
Training and certification in asylum assessments through the Physicians for Human Rights. Trainees will have the opportunity to conduct asylum assessments under supervision. Assessments include a comprehensive clinical interview, review of written medical records, consultation with PHR staff, writing of affidavit for the court, and possible testimony during hearings. Assessments are conducted in-person (when possible), virtually, and, occasionally, at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention centers.
Guidance for creating your own private practice upon completion of the postdoctoral fellowship. We fully support trainees going on to create their own practices and encourage them to continue on with patients they have begun with at IMPACT. The postdoctoral fellowship year also gives IMPACT and the fellow the opportunity to determine if full-time employment upon full licensure will be a good fit.
A family-friendly environment with supportive parental leave policies.
Dental/vision/life insurance provided at no cost to the fellow.
A monthly stipend which can be used to offset the cost of health insurance.
This is an outstanding and unique opportunity for psychologists who are interested in working in a private practice setting with youth and adults in consultation with a warm and supportive team.
