C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco (ASW) Training Internships, San Francisco, CA (Post Date:01/28/2025)

THE C. G. JUNG INSTITUTE OF SAN FRANCISCO James Goodrich Whitney Center for Psychotherapy

Postgraduate Associate Clinical Social Work (ASW) Training Internships Available for 2025-27 at the Whitney Center for Psychotherapy of the Jung Institute of San Francisco

The Whitney Center for Psychotherapy of the CG Jung Institute of San Francisco has a dynamic and thriving training program offering 8-10 interns a two year 22 hour per week rigorous and full experience of psychodynamic open-ended Jungian informed depth psychotherapy. 

Our respected internship annually selects interns from ASW, AMFT and APCC eligible individuals for postmasters hours training toward licensure, as well as doctoral interns (CAPIC approved site) and senior psychiatry residents. 

The training includes: Psychotherapy with adults and couples (10-12 hrs/wk), individual supervision (2 hrs/wk), group case seminar (1.5 hrs/wk), didactic trainings (2-3 hrs/wk), group process (monthly) and a weekly staff meeting (.5 hr/wk). Supervision and training is provided by Jungian analysts. The 12 month training year begins in September. Interns receive an annual stipend of $6000. 

We are providing training and in-person services in our new Mission Street, San Francisco location. 

The Whitney Center for Psychotherapy of the CG Jung Institute of San Francisco has been serving the Bay area for over 50 years as a sliding scale community clinic. The diverse patient population is screened for those most likely to be able to utilize a depth psychotherapy model: individuals (and couples) who do not need crisis management, and can work through developmental issues, current life problems, and develop their potential through attention to their inner stirrings at an unhurried open-ended pace, usually once or twice weekly. Often these are students, artists, and others in the Bay area who cannot afford full fees and can be seen for $35-120 per session based on a sliding scale.

The intern group is a motivated and creative group of individuals with diverse backgrounds and interests in Jungian studies, each of whom have demonstrated a capacity and skill for clinical work, ethical practice and self-reflection. Some prior clinical experience with severe mental disturbance and substance abuse is helpful. We value integration of personal and professional development, and interns are required to be in personal therapy or analysis during their training. 

Interns partake in the rich resources of our Institute learning community through their involvement in intramurals (alongside analysts and candidates in training), extended education programs, our library, and other Institute resources. 

We are currently reviewing applications for the 25-27 training years that begins September 2025. Deadline for applications is February 21, 2025.

Afshan Mohamedali Psychology (AMP), Oyster Bay, NY (Post Date: 01/28/2025)

Description
I'm looking to expand my practice and hire two full-time postdoctoral fellows for positions beginning in the fall of 2025. The positions will be virtual/ hybrid and require a 2-year commitment.

About Me
I am a New York, New Jersey, and Washington DC licensed clinical psychologist, supervisor, and doctoral professor. I work with individual adults and couples who are experiencing distress due to mood fluctuations, changing life circumstances, difficult relationships, and uncertain identity. My therapeutic approach stems from a predominantly psychodynamic perspective and I have developed a clinical voice that incorporates humor, metaphor, and authenticity, believing that when clinicians are authentically themselves in sessions, the therapeutic relationship thrives.

I encourage my students and supervisees to balance developing their own voice with nurturing the evolution of the therapeutic relationship. Supervision requires a high degree of self-awareness and ongoing consideration of various therapeutic variables, including cultural case formulations, intersectionality, transference and countertransference, and the limitations and possibilities within our roles as clinicians. It also involves exploring boundary setting, the mechanics of private practice, taking leave, and the importance of continued education and collaboration.

Since launching my own practice, I emphasize the importance of finding and becoming part of communities of peers within our field. The supportive and compassionate environment we cultivate with our patients should also extend to our fellow clinicians, creating a mutually rewarding experience. My hope is that this training experience is the beginning of one of those communities.
