We review all applications carefully and invite only those with a strong clinical alignment to proceed to the next step. Regrettably, we often find ourselves declining to proceed with otherwise excellent applicants who aren't right for our practice.
We make use of group and individual interviews to learn about a candidate’s capacity for self-reflection and willingness to be impacted by the process itself. Prospective therapists will be asked to reflect on the values and assumptions they bring to therapy, with aspects of the process intentionally replicating the experience of supervision that is so central to our practice.
Unlike in some interview processes, learning about your specific experience, motivation to become or continue practicing therapy; as well as more about our practice comes after these first few steps are complete.
Even among already experienced therapists, a good fit will be someone who believes they still have a tremendous amount to learn. Humility is prized over mastery.
