Mental Health Fellowship

Our clinics and staffing have been through a number of transitions in the last year, as has our training program. We are excited to revive this program with a new structure, training opportunities and diverse training staff. We will offer year-long fellowships to two or three qualified candidates. All fellows for our service area will gain experience by working on both our Adult and Child & Family teams. We operate in strong team environment, with an open-door policy which ensures quality consultation and collaboration with staff across clinics, teams and licensure. The Vacaville and Fairfield clinics are comprised of the following teams: Adult, Child & Family, Addiction Medicine and Recovery Services, Intensive Outpatient, Eating Disorders Team and Triage.

We value our fellows and appreciate the energy and enthusiasm they have brought to the team in the past. Many of our staff were hired on after completing fellowships and residency programs and have been able to build meaningful positions for themselves within the clinic. Our training team is committed to providing a worthwhile and individualized training experience within a supportive and nurturing environment. The ultimate goal of the training program is to develop well rounded, culturally competent, and forward-thinking therapists prepared for independent practice.

• Fellows have access to the staff gym on the Vacaville campus as well as a number of fitness and wellness programs offered by staff
• Excellent lunch options nearby
• Fellows have access to Kaiser Permanente employee discounts for events such as NBA game tickets and BottleRock Festival day passes

The adult team provides individual and group treatment for a variety of psychiatric disorders as well as case management, Gender Care and Intensive Outpatient Services. We work closely with the interdisciplinary teams at Kaiser Permanente Vacaville Medical Center, Emergency Department, and Trauma Unit as well as the Fairfield Outpatient Medical Offices. Fellows will have the opportunity to co-facilitate groups based on their area of interest or build curriculum for a new group based on need of the clinic.

The training year is very fast paced. Our most successful fellows are flexible, open and willing to incorporate feedback into their work, self-sufficient and willing to ask for assistance. Our multidisciplinary team is eager to help and provide support.

The child team provides individual, group, and family treatment for a variety of psychiatric disorders as well as case management and teen and young teen Intensive Outpatient Services and Gender Care.
