Paws2Heal is proud to offer a competitive Resident in Counseling program. Our program maximizes learning opportunities while offering affordable, much-needed services to the local community.
Residents can expect a relaxed, professional environment to grow and develop their therapeutic skills. Paws2Heal offers a unique Resident program that encourages autonomy and helps participants to prepare to launch their own private practice in the future.
Paws2Heal is a trauma-focused practice that offers a wide variety of therapeutic opportunities, including EMDR and animal-assisted therapy. Residents enrolled in the program will be introduced to trauma-treatment protocols and will develop confidence in developing therapeutic rapport, completing client assessments, diagnosing, and crisis response. Residents will be expected to accurately document their sessions, become familiar with the protocols outlined by HIPAA, and understand the basic day-to-day interactions with insurance companies. Residents must complete introductory continuing education seminars on trauma treatment throughout their residency. This is a unique opportunity for individuals to learn therapeutic skills and business management.
Applicants should be local to the Middleburg, Virginia area. Individuals must be self-motivated, organized, and interested in trauma treatment. A flexible schedule is desired but not necessary; availability is required on the first and third Friday of the month.
