Repose is an approved clinical practicum site with New York State for advanced standing students pursuing professional degrees in Mental Health Counseling (MHC), Social Work (MSW), and Marriage and Family Therapy. (MFT).
Advanced Clinical Fellowships at Repose prepare future therapists for careers in trauma-informed somatic psychotherapy. Fellowships begin in either May or June, extending for approximately 12 months, or they run from September through April for 8 months.
We partner with top-tier institutions to provide a rich and supportive practicum experience within our unique group practice setting. The fellowship offers a hybrid format, allowing students to work virtually and from either our Union Square or Westchester office.
Repose prioritizes career path opportunities. Upon successful completion of the practicum, fellows may apply for a staff therapist position at Repose, which includes competitive pay, supervision, and benefits.
At Repose, we are dedicated to providing our advanced clinical fellows with foundational somatic skills and education, incorporating therapeutic techniques like EMDR, somatic experiencing, breath work, and other accessible mind-body interventions. Our approach is trauma-informed and client-centered, focusing on building strong therapeutic alliances and empowering clients through our commitment to psycho-education. Repose equips our fellows with somatic tools for self-regulation and conscious relaxation, supporting diverse therapeutic entry points to enhance treatment efficacy.
