Students and new clinicians
Learn trauma work with a team behind you.
We are a teaching clinic. Our interns build real competence with robust supervision, steady consultation, and experienced practitioners one door down.
From watching to leading.
At the start, questionnaires and consultations with the Clinical Supervisor set your areas of growth. The training plan is reviewed and recalibrated along the way, so your goals are actually met.

Clinical supervision
Supervisors who are still learning too.
Our Clinical Supervisors are licensed clinicians with extensive experience in trauma-focused treatment, and approved clinical supervisors with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).
To oversee interns and new clinicians, they have trained in the theory and practice of clinical supervision, and they keep training and receiving supervision themselves.
Supervision happens in person at the clinic and through online consultation. How often depends on your learning goals, your school's requirements, and the complexity of your caseload.
