Psychotherapy Training Program

Our eleven-month psychotherapy training has a communal approach in which supervisors and students form a treatment team, optimizing available resources to support healing and personal growth on the part of our trainees and their clients. Trainees see clients, maintain clinical files, collect fees, market their services, and offer psycho-educational programs in a number of Catholic parishes throughout the Chicago area, as well as through the Claret Center, located in Hyde Park. Trainees can expect to see a combination of telehealth and in-person clients.

To ensure personal as well as professional growth over the course of the year, the training program includes an ongoing weekly learning community that includes both individual and group supervision. Supervisors and peers support each other in finding an approach to counseling that maximizes their unique personal style and gifts. The program is directed by Angela Paviglianiti, LCSW, MDiv, and Mary Worden, PsyD.

Applications will be accepted for 2026-2027 training year in January 2027.

Please submit cover letter, resume or CV, 3 letters of reference, and an unofficial transcript for your current graduate program to Angela Paviglianiti at angelap@claretcenter.org.
