Practicum Training

At Beam, our educational mission is to cultivate the next generation of clinical psychologists and neuropsychologists, training them to develop fundamental clinical, analytical, and writing skill sets so that they will be able to perform comprehensive, high quality neuropsychological assessment with a special focus on pediatric, adolescent, and young adult populations from age 2 to 21.

Trainees will learn to formulate their assessment and therapy cases using a psychodynamic orientation as well as third wave Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and evidence-based modalities and research.

We select our trainees from top Bay Area, APA-accredited doctoral psychology programs.

We seek trainees who value diagnostic rigor, intellectual curiosity, kindness, empathy, and collaboration, and who already possess excellent writing skills.

Our training program offers didactic training and both one-on-one and group supervision on neuropsychological and neurodevelopment assessment and—at the option of our trainees—psychotherapy with a focus on parent support and group therapy whereby we provide our clients a safe place to share their experiences, feelings, and ideas with their peers.

Practicum training open positions will be communicated to the academic institutions with established relationships with Beam.
