HOW CAN I APPLY TO THE JUNIOR ASSOCIATE TRAINING PROGRAM?
FPT reviews applications to the Junior Associate program on a rolling basis. There are three seats that rotate approximately every year. Please send an email stating your interest in the program directly to Dr. Barimany by clicking here. You will receive an email response to set up an initial phone call to talk about the program and be invited to apply if there is an open position available in the near future.
IN WHAT STATE IS DR. BARIMANY LICENSED?
Dr. Barimany is licensed in the District of Columbia and the state of Utah. If you’re engaging clinical supervision services for the purpose of obtaining your license, please check the supervision and residency requirements of the state in which you seek licensure.
WHAT DOES CLINICAL SUPERVISION WITH DR. BARIMANY ENTAIL?
As a clinician, I tend towards formulating cases in a psychodynamic manner and use the interpersonal process to deliver interventions. My work is deeply infused with eastern wisdom (meditation and contemplative practice). These are technical skills and training I can offer from my expertise, however, I encourage you to bring your theoretical preferences, at whichever stage of development they may be, into our work together. As a supervisor, alongside helping you care responsibly for your clients, my goal is to encourage your development as a clinician. I appreciate collaboration and as you will learn from me, I hope to learn from and with you.
A 50-minute individual supervision session will consistently occur on the day and time of our choosing. Supervision is structured by an agenda that we negotiate at the outset of our time together, case presentations and consultations, and review of recordings. It is an ethical and professional obligation to abide by the ACA Code of Ethics and I welcome you to ask for guidance if you are uncertain about anything pertaining to either at any time.
As helping professionals, it is an ethical obligation to make sure that we are emotionally and physically healthy in order to serve our clients well. At times, personal issues will bleed into the work we do as counselors. When appropriate, these issues can be processed in supervision. However, there are clear boundaries between supervision and personal therapy and some things that come up in supervision need the space and attention of individual therapy. In either case, I encourage all clinicians to be in their own therapy no matter how expert and seasoned they may be. I am happy to help supervisees and mentees find a mental health professional that meets their financial, emotional, and practical needs.
Frog Point Therapy
Junior Associate Program
The Junior Associate program is a post-master’s training experience geared towards graduates looking for specialized supervision and mentorship in the Frog Point approach and in private practice. The work of learning how to do therapy truly begins after graduation, however much of the technical training ends when school ends. The goal of this program is to offer specialized, post-graduate training in FPT’s novel approach to treatment and to provide educational, clinical, and supervisory support to pre-licensure therapists as they navigate the transition out of academia and into professional clinical work. During their residency, each junior associate will receive individual and group supervision from Dr. Barimany, client referrals, prime office space in FPT’s brand-new facility in Northwest DC, and the support of a professional community at Frog Point Therapy.
The Junior Associate program is invitation-only, but please feel free to inquire about consideration for an open position by emailing us here.
