At Access Institute you are taught by contemporary thinkers
who have evolved psychoanalytic practice in meaningful ways.
This intensive program trains 20 interns over a two year period during which time they provide clinical services and receive training and supervision from some of the Bay Area's top
clinicians. All interns receive a minimum of two hours per week of individual supervision and participate in a didactic curriculum designed to support their work within the community clinic. Seminars are progressive throughout the two-year period and are designed to facilitate the building of interns’ clinical thinking, and the development of their clinical voices within the psychoanalytic tradition.

At Access Institute we take our interns’ experiences seriously, and
build a supportive community of peers and professionals to bolster
their growth and education.
Immersion is everything. There are many dimensions to the internship: reading, discussion, theory, cohort relationships, specialized training, classes, group and one-on-one support. All this makes up about one-half of each week. The other half is spent providing therapy to patients, many whom are seen multiple times per week and for the entire 2-years of the internship.

What Access Institute has brought to me as an early-career psychotherapist is a more thorough trust in my own experience, and using my experience to act with freedom in a way that is thoughtful and sensitive to the unique needs of my clients. I've been able to gain a more grounded confidence in my work through the wealth of support I get from supervisors, instructors, and my fellow cohort members. The emotional connections this has allowed me to cultivate with clients have been invaluable to me.
