Your First Big Step from Graduate to Professional Depth-Oriented Therapist

Our Mission : We promote mental wellness through quality therapy, assessment, and medication management, with a special emphasis on depth-oriented approaches that create lasting change. Our diverse team collaborates to create a supportive environment where both clients and clinicians can thrive.

About Us : We're Psychiatric and Psychological Specialties (PPS) – a modern practice that values both contemporary and traditional approaches to psychotherapy. Our team of psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and counselors is committed to providing depth-oriented care that addresses root causes rather than just managing symptoms. While we have physical offices in Southwestern Michigan and Chicago, we embrace the digital age as a primarily telehealth practice.

Beyond Quick Fixes : Become a Depth-Oriented Therapist

While many settings push for brief interventions, our program is uniquely focused on training you in the increasingly rare art of long-term, depth-oriented psychotherapy. Here you'll learn to :

  • Work beyond symptoms to address underlying patterns and dynamics
  • Develop the clinical patience to allow meaningful change to unfold
  • Navigate the complex phases of long-term therapeutic relationships
  • Build a therapeutic presence that creates space for deeper exploration
  • Balance concrete interventions with process-oriented approaches

From Textbook to Real Life : Depth-Oriented Training

Our 24-month program bridges that giant gap between your academic training and being a confident, licensed therapist who can work at deeper levels with clients. You'll :

  • Master Multiple Depth Approaches : Apply psychodynamic, relational, existential, and other models that address root causes rather than just symptoms
  • Join a Team of Depth Specialists : Work alongside clinicians who value the transformative power of long-term therapeutic relationships
  • Go Beyond Quick Fixes : Learn how to create genuine, lasting change through sustained therapeutic work
  • Follow Cases Through Their Evolution : Experience the full arc of long-term therapy, from initial assessment through termination
  • Build a Caseload with Continuity : Develop relationships with clients that allow you to witness and facilitate profound change
  • Why This Program Is Perfect for New Grads :

    Let's be real – grad school taught you the theories, but now you need real-world experience. Our two-year program is designed specifically for fresh graduates looking to transform classroom knowledge into clinical confidence. You'll get :

  • Personalized Mentorship : Direct supervision from seasoned pros who specialize in depth-oriented approaches
  • Skill-Building Without Judgment : Small-group learning where the complexities of deep clinical work are explored openly
  • Career Development Fast-Track : Learn in two years what might otherwise take five through guided experience with long-term cases
  • Work-Life Balance from Day One : Because working deeply with clients requires your own psychological well-being
  • Depth Therapy Skills You'll Develop :

  • Therapeutic Presence : Cultivating the ability to sit with difficult emotions and existential themes
  • Dynamic Formulation : Creating sophisticated case conceptualizations that capture unconscious processes
  • Process Recognition : Identifying transference, countertransference, and in-session dynamics
  • Therapeutic Frame : Establishing and maintaining boundaries that facilitate deeper work
  • Interpretive Skills : Developing well-timed interventions that illuminate unconscious patterns
  • Containment : Holding space for intense affect and challenging material
  • Working Through : Facilitating the processing of core conflicts and developmental wounds
  • Long-Term Case Management : Navigating the phases and challenges of extended therapeutic relationships
  • Self-Reflection : Using your own reactions as clinical data to inform treatment
  • Integration : Blending depth approaches with other modalities when clinically indicated
  • What You'll Actually Do : Deep Clinical Work That Matters :

    You'll primarily provide long-term individual therapy to adults while getting involved in other clinical activities. From day one, you'll be doing meaningful clinical work that goes beyond surface-level interventions. The deep therapeutic work you'll engage in :

  • Depression and anxiety (exploring underlying dynamics rather than just symptom management)
  • Characterological issues and recurring patterns
  • Major life transitions as opportunities for deeper growth
  • Complex grief and loss exploration
  • Relationship patterns and attachment styles
  • Integration of medication with psychological insight
  • Existential aspects of chronic illness
  • Developmental trauma recovery
  • Multigenerational family patterns
  • The role of multicultural factors in treatment
  • Identity formation and authentic self-development
