PROGRAM DETAILS

We’re not just committed to providing excellent care for our clients, we want to see our employees grow. Livity’s residency program provides advanced training to professionals post-graduate school. Participants will receive intensive training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Radically Open DBT, the effective treatment of eating disorders, and the business of private practice. The development of each employee as a therapist is an integral component of our residency program. Upon completion of our program, each participant will have the necessary skills to succeed in their own private practice. Imagine condensing ten years of private practice experience down into two years of guided lessons and oversight while working with an intriguing client base. …and the best part? This isn’t an internship; you get paid, and we offer competitive hourly rates.
