Postdoctoral Fellowship Program

Postdoctoral Fellowship

Aviva Psychology Services is a compassionate, collaborative team of licensed psychologists dedicated to helping adults of all identities and backgrounds achieve greater emotional freedom, security, and fulfillment. Our Postdoctoral Fellowship Program focuses on training clinical psychologists to treat a variety of presenting concerns using evidence-based, culturally informed interventions. Fellows receive immersive, evidence-based, identity-affirming training with particular focus in long-term, relationally oriented individual therapy. Additionally, fellows may have opportunities for specialized training in perinatal and infertility issues as well as health psychology.

At this time we have filled our cohort for the 2026/2027 academic year. Applications for the 2027/2028 academic year will be posted in October 2026.
