Training Opportunities

Part of our mission at The Telos Project is to strengthen mental health care not only through the services we provide, but also by investing in the professionals who provide them. We believe psychologists and other mental health professionals should have access to meaningful training, practical resources, and opportunities to continue developing their skills throughout their careers.

By supporting clinicians in their professional growth, we help ensure they feel prepared and empowered to provide thoughtful, ethical, and high-quality care to the individuals and communities they serve.

Training Programs at The Telos Project

Our goal is to help developing clinicians build the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills needed to provide thoughtful, high-quality psychological assessment services. Through our assessment training programs, trainees will develop the skills to:

  • Administer psychological and neuropsychological assessment measures.
  • Accurately score and interpret assessment results.
  • Integrate data from multiple sources into a comprehensive clinical picture.
  • Develop diagnostic impressions and evidence-based recommendations.
  • Gain experience with a wide range of referral questions, diagnoses, and patient populations.
