Hello!

I am a student of Capella University and I am almost done with my coursework! I am very excited about this and really looking forward to working with some great colleagues.

Unfortunately, I have visited, called, and wrote several therapists and agencies in the Hampton Roads area in my effort to locate a site for my internship. I'm disappointed but, I have not given up on the search!

Capella is a CACREP accredited university. I have learned a wealth of things from my studies and look forward to putting them to good use. I have a 3.9 GPA and am a member of Chi Sigma Iota. I really hope someone can point me in the direction of a great supervisor who is willing to help me realize my goal of being a productive and active MFT. Any help offered will be appreciated and acted upon.

Inova Kellar Center is co-sponsoring this conference.

These workshops provide participants with an opportunity to both complete an ethics training program and learn more about the application of Collaborative Strengths-Based Brief Therapy with Children and Adolescents. The ethics training will provide practical advice concerning how to follow your ethical obligations to clients while conforming to all legal requirements that cover the practice of psychotherapy. The Collaborative Strengths-Based Brief Therapy Approach helps therapists work effectively with children and adolescents who present with oppositional, explosive, self-harming, eating-distressed, school-disruptive and heavy substance-abuse behaviors. Such clients can be a nightmare for even the most seasoned therapists. This “hands-on” practiceoriented workshop will help participants learn how this approach can capitalize on the strengths of clients and family members. A special emphasis in this workshop will be placed on the therapist’s creative use of self and inventiveness.

Reduced fee couples therapy from licensed therapists

We are conducting a clinical trial for couples who are experiencing problems in their relationship and are committed to trying to improve their relationship in couples therapy. Couples will receive discounted therapy from licensed professionals in exchange for answering questions about their experiences.

Couples will attend therapy sessions at locations convenient to them in therapist offices in Northern Virginia, DC, or Maryland.

Please consider referring couples to the study. For more information, see the Virginia Tech Center for Family Services website (http://www.nvc.vt.edu/cfs).

Virginia has several graduate programs that conduct and publish research directly applicable to clinical practice and other issues relevant to our work as Marriage and Family Therapists. This page is for sharing information about clinical studies and to reference helpful literature. Please submit your requests to president@vamft.org.
