TRAINING AND SUPERVISION
An important goal of our institute is to provide high-quality training and supervision in CBT. Our team has a wealth of experience working with students and health professionals, including practicum students in clinical and behavioural psychology, family medicine, psychiatry and psychology residents, as well as autonomously practicing professionals. We currently offer the following training and supervision options:

Postdoctoral Supervision
We are actively involved in supervising psychologists during their supervised practice year with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. Our experience with a number of current and past supervised practice psychologists allows for the critical mass necessary to offer peer consultation and group supervision as supervisees complete the registration process. In addition, we are able to ensure that there is clear exposure to all competencies including supervision on supervision, evaluation, program development, clinical work, and consultation. Candidates with an interest in child/adolescent psychology should contact Dr. Jen Karp (jkarp@oicbt.ca). Candidates with an interest in adult psychology should contact Dr. Connie Dalton (connieldalton@yahoo.ca).
