Postdoctoral Resident

The Postdoctoral Residency Program at Psychology Specialists of Maine (PSM) is designed to support trainees in their final year of supervised clinical experience. Our postdoctoral residents are trained to become confident and competent professionals, prepared to move into independent practice with a strong professional identity, leadership skills, and sense of purpose. The postdoctoral residency at PSM is designed for candidates with a doctoral degree from an APA-accredited program in clinical or counseling psychology and an APA-accredited doctoral internship in clinical or counseling psychology who are interested in working in a group practice that values collaboration, continuing education, and exceptional client care. This is a full-time, 40 hours per week position with flexibility and leave time that fulfills 1800 total hours (including 900 required direct hours). The clinical caseload is generally 24 direct service hours per week including individual, couples, and group modalities and offering both in-person and telehealth services. The resident will participate in two hours of weekly individual supervision and spend their remaining time engaged in professional development, didactic training, case consultation, community outreach, peer consultation, administrative projects, and documentation. The focus of our clinical training is to provide broad, generalist training in a range of treatment modalities and clinical populations. Throughout the year, residents will attend a range of didactic seminars and workshops to expand their breadth of clinical knowledge. Residents are encouraged to broaden their expertise by pursuing additional training in other areas that we offer at our site.
