Josselyn Center is now accepting applications for the 2025-2026 internship year. Interested students can review the website and submit a cover letter and resume as part of the Clinical Internship Inquiry Form at the bottom of the internship page. Although there are multiple locations, the main locations where they are looking to place interns are Waukegan or Grayslake. Due to growing Spanish speaking needs of clients in those areas, bi-lingual students are strongly encouraged to apply.

As a part of the internship experience, Josselyn Center offers interns one hour of individual supervision, one hour of clinical group supervision, and one hour of administrative supervision every week, in addition to the open case consultation groups and CEU programs. Interns will receive the same supervision and training in all locations. Interested students with questions can reach out to Thomas Tharayil at ttharayil@josselyn.org.

The Relationship Therapy Center in Eagan, Minnesota has opened their application process for their 2025 fellowship program. The early bird application deadline is December 31st and their in person interview is on January 31st. View attached flyer or visit their website for the detailed outline of information: https://mncouplescounseling.com/fellowship/.

Please reach out to Kristi Murchie at fellowship@mncouplescounseling.com with any questions.

In the past five years, The Couples Therapy Fellowship has often served as a stepping-stone to a full-time position at The Couples Clinic. In fact, we have accepted 22 fellows into our program and are proud to say that by the end of the current cycle, we will have hired nearly 80% upon completion of their fellowship! The remaining few have taken their fellowship experience and pursued endeavors such as PhD programs, becoming a Professor/Clinical Director in a Master’s Program, private practice and more! Couples Clinic therapists can earn up to six figures per year, doing the work that they love with an amazing team of colleagues who are like-minded in their commitment to excellence in couples’ therapy.

The Couples Clinic is home of a team of innovative therapists and researchers who have created Pragmatic/Experiential for Couples (PET-C), detailed in the books, Emotional Intelligence in Couples Therapy, and Developing Habits for Relationship Success.  PET-C is scientifically based, drawing from recent advances in neurobiology and the science of intimate relationships.

We offer the following formats:

Two-Year Post-Graduate Couples Therapy Fellowship

• Ideal for recent graduates who are beginning to work towards full licensure.
• Two full years of paid intensive training and supervision in PET-C.
• Click here and scroll down to “Fellow Pay and Benefits” for information regarding compensation and benefits of the Two-Year Paid Fellowship in Couples Therapy.
• Paid Couples Therapy Fellowship – Two Year

One-Year Post-Graduate Couples Therapy Fellowship

• Ideal for past graduates who may already be licensed or will be within a year.
• One full year of paid intensive training and supervision in PET-C.
• Click here and scroll down to “Fellow Pay and Benefits” for information regarding compensation and benefits of the One-Year Paid Fellowship in Couples Therapy.
• Paid Couples Therapy Fellowship – One Year

Both Fellowship options are designed to generate highly competent therapists who will 1) have an opportunity to fulfill the supervision and clinical contact hour requirements for full licensure in the state of Illinois, and 2) put themselves in a great position to receive offers to become full-time Clinic team members once the Fellowship has been completed if they demonstrate excellence during the Fellowship.

We will begin reviewing applications on January 15, 2025, and begin interviewing applicants in early February.  The two-year fellowships typically begin July 1st each year with some flexibility if needed. (If you already have your full license, you may be eligible to start a one-year fellowship sooner).
