Preference will be given to applicants who have prior experience working with children and families. Please specify that experience in your application. Core requirements: Provide 10 clinical hours per week. Attend a two-hour group supervision (in clinic) and one-hour triadic (offsite) supervision weekly.

Seeing clients on three different days in the week, including within school hours, is required. A minimum of two late afternoons/evenings per week seeing clients, and/or a Saturday shift is required.
