Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Fellowship

    Acacia: A Place for Personal & Family Development offers two openings every April in our two year Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Fellowship.

    We’re looking for recent graduates with a limited license in social work who are curious, compassionate, and eager to deepen their understanding of trauma and attachment. This fellowship offers a rich learning environment where you’ll develop skills in relational psychotherapy — work that supports healing and growth for both patients and clinicians alike.

    At Acacia, we believe that meaningful relationships are the foundation for lasting change. Whether it’s with our patients, our team members, or our trainees, we strive to create connections that foster safety, trust, and authentic growth. These relationships are at the heart of our work and the spirit of our organization.

    Our practice is dedicated to long-term psychotherapy focused on whole-person healing and overall development — not just temporary symptom relief. We value the balance between clinical autonomy and strong team collaboration, and we’re committed to continual learning and growth together.

    If this approach resonates with you, and you’re seeking a community that values authenticity, reflection, growth and connection, we’d love to hear from you. Please send your Resume and Curriculum Vitae to info@acaciakzoo.com
