This is an approximately one-year full time position for a recent Ph.D. or Psy.D. from an APA accredited psychology graduate program and internship program. This is an exciting opportunity for an individual interested in working with adolescents who have co-occurring psychiatric and substance abuse diagnoses in a milieu treatment setting.

At the Comprehensive Adolescent Rehabilitation and Education Service (CARES), the fellow will act as a junior staff member in a community-oriented day treatment setting serving high school students with integrated Mental Health, Substance Abuse, and educational services. The fellow will also serve as a clinical liaison to the Education Staff. The CARES program incorporates an eclectic approach to treatment with an emphasis on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), the Transtheoretical Model of Stages of Change, and trauma-focused treatments. The fellow will receive intensive training and supervision in these models. They will also receive training in the treatment of substance abuse and will have the opportunity to provide clinical supervision to a pre-doctoral intern. As part of their training, fellows also function as milieu staff where they gain experience in brief solution-focused triage and intervention. Fellows carry a caseload of individual therapy patients and co-lead various therapy groups, which may include recovery groups as well as DBT groups. Fellows also conduct psychiatric intake evaluations for CARES referrals.. In addition, they take seminars on professional development, supervision and advanced psychotherapy techniques. Additional opportunities for supervision and/or teaching at CFI may be available and can be tailored to individual interests.
