Brattleboro Retreat's Psychology Internship Reaccredited for 10 Years by APA
The Brattleboro Retreat's doctoral psychology internship program has been reaccredited by the American Psychological Association (APA) for a 10-year term, extending its accreditation through 2035. This reaccreditation confirms that the program continues to meet the APA's standards for training future psychologists and mental health professionals. The decision followed a comprehensive review process, including a site visit, program evaluations, and interviews with staff and trainees. The Brattleboro Retreat is one of only three programs in Vermont to hold this accreditation. The program offers hands-on clinical training in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings, primarily serving a rural and underserved population. The internship year runs from late June through the following June, with doctoral students applying through a national match process each fall.
