Continuing Education

The School of Social Work offers post-graduation certification in advanced psychodynamic psychotherapy in partnership with the Institute for Advanced Psychotherapy. This program is a year-long commitment, designed for full-time, working professionals that provides licensed clinicians the training needed to expand and update clinical skills, enrich care provided to clients, and enhance one’s overall practice. The framework incorporates multiple theoretical disciplines and offers a method of case conceptualization that includes various listening and intervention techniques from a variety of treatment approaches.

Comprising three learning formats (on-site residency, virtual small-group consultation, and webinars) the program enables participants to continue their daily professional practices while earning this Advanced Psychotherapy Certificate. Time commitment is approximately 2.5 hours per week for the year. The certificate program offers 72 hours of Continuing Education credits for psychologists and 72 hours through IDFPR. New cohorts begin in late October/early November of each year.

More information on IAP can be found on their website.
