2-Year Training Program

Training Program Structure 

Time Commitment

We meet on Thursdays from 9:00am-12:45pm. 1 hour and 45 minutes is spent in group supervision and the other hour and 45 minutes is spent with academic presentations. Classes run for 32 weeks from mid-September through mid-June and supervision typically runs from September through July.

We also require you to make yourself available to carry a minimum of 2 clinical cases during “prime time” hours. We define “prime time” as being either 7 pm or later on any weekday, or holding a session in the morning that begins no later 8:30 am. Any time on Saturday is also considered “prime time.”

Class Size

Class size is limited to 12 trainees.

Community

FACTS benefits from the cross- pollination of concepts and techniques utilized in the other divisions at ICP. We have expanded our curriculum to include innovations brought to us from the trauma program, the eating disorders program, the LGBTQ program, the child and adolescent division, and the psychodynamic and psychoanalytic programs. You can partake in learning opportunities sponsored by other divisions.
