Mindfully Therapist Emerging Leaders Program
Mindfully invests in licensed therapists, helping you build competence, improve your client outcomes, and become a mentor for other clinicians.
The Emerging Leaders Fellowship
Mindfully’s Therapist Emerging Leaders Fellowship is a specialized two-year career development program for licensed mental health professionals. They will learn specialized treatment modalities to enhance client care and learn to supervise newer clinicians.
Fellows will receive fully-funded access to over 200 CEUs, including:
– all training and clinical experience required for DBT certification
– all training and experience for Level 1 EMDR certification
– additional CEUs in an area of concentration or specialty of your choosing
– training and endorsement for supervisor licensure
Fellows will also receive biweekly mentorship meetings with senior leadership and membership to a professional association of your choosing (NASW, ACA, or similar).
Who Can Qualify for This Program?
Our Therapist Emerging Leaders Program is designed for mental health professionals who:
– have their dependent or independent social worker license (LSW, LISW), who have their dependent or independent counselor license (LPC, LPCC), or who have their Marriage & Family Therapy license (MFT, IMFT)
– are licensed in Ohio or Colorado, and
– have at least one year of post-graduate clinical work experience (at Mindfully or elsewhere).
This program is ideal for therapists who want to expand their clinical expertise and develop leadership skills within a supportive environment.
What is Expected of Fellows?
In return for this significant investment from Mindfully, the Therapist Emerging Leaders are expected to maintain a caseload at Mindfully of at least 20 hours/week, 48 weeks out of the year, ensuring they continue to apply their growing expertise in a meaningful way. Mindfully also strongly encourages Fellows to participate in a social advocacy initiative.
Throughout the program, Fellows will receive their regular compensation for both clinical and administrative hours.
