POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP

Learn & Grow With Us!

NOW RECRUITING FOR THE 2026-2027 FELLOWSHIP YEAR!

Postdoctoral Fellowship in Clinical Psychology

APPLICATION DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 1, 2026

Aspen Grove Wellness is seeking postdoctoral fellows in adult clinical psychology for the 2026-2027 academic year, running from August 17, 2026 through August 16, 2027. In addition to our headquarters in Richmond, Virginia, we have an office in Hagerstown, Maryland and offer robust telehealth services that allow for in-person, remote, and hybrid training experiences. While at least some in-office presence is strongly encouraged throughout the fellowship year to support community, mentorship, and professional development, we are able to accommodate telework for fellows who are physically located in Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia.

We are drawn to individuals who are self-motivated, deeply client-centered, collaborative in spirit, and, above all, kind. Aspen Grove Wellness values clinicians who approach this work with humility, curiosity, and respect for the complexity of human experience. We are particularly interested in candidates seeking specialized training in adult psychotherapy, including work with complex trauma, relational and attachment-based concerns, and personality development.

Postdoctoral fellows receive training across a range of theoretical orientations, including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and dialectical-behavioral approaches. Training is integrative and relationally grounded, with an emphasis on clinical depth, reflective practice, and thoughtful case conceptualization. Fellows also have opportunities to learn about the administrative, ethical, and operational aspects of running a values-driven group private practice, including exposure to leadership-development, systems-building, and sustainable practice models. Aspen Grove Wellness is committed to inclusion, affirmation, and equity. We actively seek applicants who bring diverse lived experiences, perspectives, and identities to our clinical community, including individuals from historically underrepresented groups.

At Aspen Grove Wellness, we believe that meaningful care for clients begins with meaningful care for clinicians. We are intentional about creating a professional environment that is supportive, values-driven, and sustainable over the long term. Fellows benefit from many of the strengths of private practice, including schedule flexibility, administrative and operational support, fully furnished office space, credentialing and billing services, and high-quality supervision. We hold excellence in clinical care alongside a commitment to balance, boundaries, and provider wellness. Collaboration is central to our culture, and we seek clinicians who value working within a connected, thoughtful, and engaged professional community.
