All the doctors at Athans and Associates have doctoral degrees from accredited universities and have completed internships and residency training prior to receiving their state license. Each provider also has many years of post-doctoral experience and training. Every year, the providers participate in seminars in the latest methods in psychology. In fact, many are considered experts in their specialties, often providing training for other professionals.
Also, like many medical residency programs at university hospitals, we provide training for interns completing their graduate degrees in Clinical and Counseling Psychology. We select from the top ten percent of the class who have received comprehensive education and clinical training.
We continue their training in the second or third year, providing individual, group supervision and consultation on a weekly basis for at least year by licensed clinical psychologists and adjunct faculty at professional schools. The interns are expected to be licensed following completion of their training commitment.
The doctors at Athans and Associates are part of the Advocate Family Care Network.
