The program aim is to provide advanced doctoral students training opportunities in delivery of services to children, adolescents, and young adults and their families. The focus is teaching students how to apply family therapy case conceptualizations with the emphasis on family. This would include individual, family and opportunities for group therapy.  Patients present with a broad range of behavioral, developmental, emotional, health and learning areas of concern.

The Training Leadership consists of:

  • Dr. Alicia Sullivan (Director of Training)
  • Ms. Karen Janowiak (Training Coordinator)

The program recognizes the importance of cultural and individual differences and diversity in the training of psychologists. Our training program follows Kennedy Krieger Institute’s policy, as an equal opportunity employer, of commitment to diversity at all levels. The internship training program welcomes and encourages qualified individuals to apply and enter on the basis of demonstrated ability, performance, and merit and embraces cultural and individual differences.

“Kennedy Krieger Institute is committed to excellence. Diverse thoughts, backgrounds and perspectives create a robust community that fosters the best innovation and ideas. We aspire to have individuals of all backgrounds, races, religions, ethnicities and identities thrive in an environment of respect, encouragement, equity and inclusion.”
