Fellowships

Northampton Center for Couples Therapy two-year postgraduate fellowship (Post Date: 05/28/2026)

The Northampton Center for Couples Therapy is accepting applications for our Fall 2026 Postgraduate Fellowship — a two-year, evidence-informed training program focused exclusively on couples work. This year, we have one opening.

This is not a generalist placement, nor is it a quiet corner of a larger practice. NCCT is a learning community in the truest sense — a group of clinicians genuinely passionate about the field, committed to each other's growth, and always in the middle of something interesting. Fellows step into that culture from day one.

The fellowship is competitive and intentionally small. We keep it that way because the quality of the training depends on it. The clinician who joins us this fall will have access to something genuinely rare: a fully immersive, specialty-focused training experience inside a practice that has worked with over 4,500 couples since 2010.

Training is grounded in the leading models of couples therapy — Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Pragmatic Experiential Therapy for Couples (PET-C) — delivered through weekly supervision, monthly master classes, a monthly sex therapy group supervision with an AASECT-certified sex therapist, and hands-on clinical work with a supported caseload of 12 couples per week. Licensed clinicians are eligible for continuing education credits for trainings and meetings. Clinical and supervision hours count toward Massachusetts LICSW, LMFT, and LMHC licensure requirements. Fellows are compensated through a salary based on caseload and experience.

The right candidate has already decided that couples therapy is their path. They're curious, humble, and hungry to do serious work in a community that will meet them there.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis through May 2026.
We’re looking for the right fit and encourage early application.

An Intersectional Feminist Psychotherapy Two-Year Postgraduate Training Program (Post Date: 05/28/2026)

Description of Program
Our decades of experience reading the body in multiple and complex ways has evolved a theory and practice that widens and deepens our understanding of how psyche, soma and institutionalized power relations construct our psychologies. We see the body as the living vital center of feelings and experience and as a canvas where power relations, multiple forms of control, creative expression and protest are taken up and expressed. WTCI’s two-year program educates postgraduate clinicians from a trans-inclusive feminist relational perspective.

It is our top priority, and an ongoing one, to center academic content around issues of class, race and gender, the experiences of underrepresented voices. We have developed a theoretical guideline for practice informed by our commitment to social justice, with a deep understanding of how the personal is political and how that enters the consultation room. Our overall mission and thus the mission of the training program is to amplify an intersectional feminist voice in the evolving dialogue of contemporary relational theory.

The program is in-person at WTCI.
 

How to Apply

To apply to the program, candidates begin by submitting a completed application. Once received, applications are carefully reviewed by the WTCI Training Program Committee. Selected applicants are then invited to participate in an initial interview with a WTCI faculty member, followed by a second interview to further explore fit and interest in the program. After the interview process is complete, the WTCI Admissions Committee meets to thoughtfully discuss each candidate. Acceptance decisions are then communicated, and selected applicants receive an official acceptance letter.
