Fourth Year Clinical Externship

In February of 2024, I began an externship at Carilion Children’s Pediatric Behavioral Medicine, a department of Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital. I completed the training process to become certified in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) under Dr. Tara Mitchell, who has been practicing PCIT for 16 years. I continue to see up to 6 PCIT clients per week at Carilion Children’s under Dr. Mitchell’s supervision. In addition to PCIT, I see families and individual clients between the ages of 2 and 18, and have used methods including Parent Management Training (PMT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills training (DBT), and Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children (UP-C). I also co-lead two summer social skills groups with Victoria Rosenberg, LPC, and am part of a consultation team that included RN, LCSW, LPC, and LCP practicioners. My externship will complete in summer of 2025.
