Trauma Recovery – Supervisor: Kelsi Clayson, Psy.D. The focus of the Trauma Recovery Fellowship is working with adults, adolescents, and couples who have experienced trauma (e.g., childhood abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, combat, etc.) and present with varying levels of posttraumatic stress and related issues (i.e., anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, relational issues, substance use). There will be opportunity to receive training in a diverse array of trauma-focused treatments including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Emotionally-Focused Individual & Couple Therapy (EFIT & EFCT), and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). Although there will be an emphasis on trauma cases, Fellows will also have the opportunity to gain experience treating other clinical issues (e.g., affective, relational, personality, health-related concerns) to build a well-rounded foundation for independent practice. There may also be opportunity for the delivery of group therapy and supervision of a practicum student depending on availability and Fellow interest. The Fellow will also participate in: Clinical Approaches to Trauma Seminar: once monthly meeting focused on the application of trauma-focused interventions and clinical case review. The format includes didactics, case discussion, open Q & A, and reviews of tapes/materials. This seminar is led by Dr. Clayson and attended by TBCRP staff and trainees. Emotionally-Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) Seminar: once monthly meeting focused on the application of EFIT principles and interventions to clinical cases. The format includes didactics, case discussion, open Q & A, and reviews of tapes/materials. This seminar is led by Dr. Richardson and attended by TBCRP staff and trainees. Individual supervision: weekly individual supervision is expected to encompass issues above and beyond trauma-focused therapy and will be tailored to meet the needs of the Fellow and each client’s individual symptom profile. There will be a focus on helping the Fellow develop competence and confidence in his or her own theoretically-driven model of treatment. This model may draw from multiple theoretical orientations and integrate the Fellow’s existing knowledge base, but is expected to integrate an attachment-based and emotionally-focused lens. Supervision is designed to meet the Fellow at her or his current level of understanding of the clinical models offered and to develop both case conceptualization and intervention skills. Supervision will also focus on increasing awareness of one’s own emotional responses with the goal of assisting the therapist to be fully attuned and present with clients. The Trauma Recovery Fellow will have the option to pursue professional training in a trauma-focused treatment (i.e., EFIT, EDMR) that will advance both skill and knowledge of trauma work throughout the Fellowship. This training is typically started early in the Fellowship to provide a strong conceptual foundation from which to draw. It is expected that the Fellow will possess special expertise in one or more models of trauma-focused therapy by the completion of the Fellowship.
