CBT Denver Psychology Extern Program
As part of our mission to provide evidenced based interventions, CBT Denver has created a Psychology Extern Program. This program invites PhD and PsyD candidates to participate in a 6 month to 1 year externship program in which they receive expert supervision across several modalities, including CBT, CBT-I, Virtual Reality Exposure, ACT, and more. Directed by Dr. Keri Johns, CBT Denver’s Director of Health and Wellness, students obtain invaluable clinical experience coupled with supervision and consultation. Our clients also benefit from the Extern Program in that we can offer excellent treatment at a lower cost.
