Provide effective individual and group therapy to clients. Attain proficiency in at least one area of sub‑specialization (e.g., anxiety disorders, dialectical behavior therapy, or eating disorders). Program Description

The Eating Disorders Program at SLBMI is a specialized eating disorder treatment program that utilizes evidence‑based therapies. It offers state‑of‑the‑art, comprehensive treatment including cognitive and behavioral therapies and other adjunctive interventions. Training within both Adolescent and Adult IOPs are offered, and Fellows will also have the opportunity to treat those seeking individual outpatient therapy. Dr. Mishell Hashmi directs the program. Supervised Clinical Experience

Each fellow receives weekly, face‑to‑face supervision. Fellows may also receive peer supervision from other licensed staff clinicians. Supervisors provide written and verbal feedback regarding performance and progress, with informal verbal feedback on an ongoing basis. Training Meetings and Seminars

Seminar sessions are taught by the Institute’s faculty, staff, and guest speakers. Fellows are required to read a variety of materials from a reading list to enhance skill‑building. Qualifications
