Clinical duties include co-facilitating sex offender specific group treatment (approximately 15 hours per week), managing a primary caseload of approximately 15 residents, including treatment planning and case conceptualizing.

Experience with sexual offenders is not necessary for being an Intern in our program. Further, experience with the Rorschach is preferred, but it is not necessary to be an Intern in our program. Please contact me (see below) if you have additional questions.

Training experiences will include:
