Career and Training Opportunities

PFWC offers opportunities for newly graduated clinicians to gain knowledge of perinatal and early family mental health theory and practice, including differential diagnosis, biopsychosocial models of assessment and treatment, evidence-based approaches, and attachment theory. The fellowship is intended to provide a highly supportive environment with opportunities for structured learning while clinicians gain hours towards licensure.

PFWC Fellows receive specialized training and ongoing supervision from licensed clinicians on various topics related to reproductive, perinatal, and early family mental health, including diagnosis and assessment of PMADS, attachment, trauma, infant mental health, and grief and loss. We ask for a 2-3 year commitment while therapists gain hours towards licensure.

Candidates who are a good fit can demonstrate thoughtfulness, professionalism, enthusiasm, and a high level of self-reflective capacity. Individuals must feel comfortable interacting with community partners and medical clinics and must be dedicated to follow through and consistent presence in their various roles. Fellows hold ongoing psychotherapy cases at PFWC, have a portion of time directly embedded in medical clinics to provide Collaborative Behavioral Health Care, and support other programming as needed, including offering groups, classes, and wellness check-ins.

In addition to working with expectant, postpartum and new parents and their children, clinicians see a wide swath of folks from a variety of life circumstances. Fellows will hold a diverse caseload, including non-perinatal individuals and families. With regards to the perinatal population served, fellows learn about the importance of balancing the needs of the parents with the needs of infants and young children during a critical period of the family’s life, and provide psycho-education, appropriate referrals, and evidence-based treatment to support the mental and emotional well-being of families.
