spiral2grow of New York City also provides a unique training opportunity for mental health clinicians in the field of marriage and family therapy. Since spiral2grow is committed to providing high quality service, their candidates are selectively chosen. The training program gives emphasis to the application of short and long treatment goals, the theory and practice of systemic treatment. It offers therapeutic engagement that may include individual, couple, family, and group therapy with clients of diverse backgrounds.

Our trainees are closely supervised and trained by AAMFT Approved Supervisors, and/or AAMFT Approved Supervisor Candidates and receive ongoing support, guidance and training. The training program could also serve as an internship placement site for individuals who are interested in becoming Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFT) and is applicable for:

• Post-graduate clinicians and MFTs who work toward their licensing
• Licensed MFTs, who are interested in fee-for-service
• Licensed Mental Health professionals who are interested in fee-for-service

* We are looking for interns who desire personal and professional growth and are willing to commit to one-year while averaging about 20 hours per week. This includes a caseload of 10 clients or more, attending supervision, and trainings, scheduling as well as documenting case information. Trainees are, also, responsible for case presentation, exploration of the use of self in therapy and clinical process.

Upon graduation from their MFT Masters program, successful completion of the training program as well as supervisors’ recommendation, interns may be offered to become Associate Clinicians at spiral2grow and continue their work on a fee-for-service basis.
