Training grounded
in community.
Maple's clinical training program is designed around more than clinical technique. Trainees learn to build effective therapeutic relationships while practicing with cultural humility and an explicit commitment to culturally responsive and anti-racist care.
Our trainees work with a diverse population across clinical, telehealth, school-based, and community settings, developing the flexibility and perspective needed for a career in mental health.
