For some pre-licensed students, moving from your clinical placement into a private practice is the next step in what will be a long and fruitful career.  The fit between supervisor and supervisee is as important as the rapport with your clients, and to that end, students should take care to evaluate with whom they feel they can do their best work.  I typically employ 1-2 assocaites in my practice throughout the year. Those seeking employment must be ready and willing to function at the highest level of professionalism, have training in psychoanalytic/psychodynamic theory and practice and be able to transfer clients from their current training site to my practice.
