The training program hosts a vibrant invited practitioner speaker series in addition to monthly grand rounds. Because the training program is an outgrowth of our fierce dedication to serving the underserved, we offer significantly reduced fee services to those in financial need. The clinic has existing relationships with area graduate programs in psychology and family therapy, but we are not beholden to any specific graduate schools. Training rotations are typically 12 months. More information about the larger training program can be found at https://lorenzclinic.com/join-us/education/clinical-training/
