The Fellowship Program will provide specialized training and supervision to a new MA or MSW graduate interested in increasing their knowledge and skills of grief and trauma focused psychotherapy. Fellows will obtain advanced competencies and core expertise and skills beyond those attained through completion of a master’s degree program. The two-year Fellowship will follow a comprehensive curriculum of theory, skill development, and practice related to grief and trauma counseling services.
Clinical Internship Program
The Wendt Center trains graduate students from accredited programs to become psychotherapists specializing in grief and trauma. These highly-trained interns go through a competitive application process and participate in an intensive training program.
These graduate interns also work with clients impacted by trauma and grief. All sessions are overseen by licensed and experienced clinicians and the program ensures each client receives compassionate, evidence-based care.
