A 2-year clinical fellowship with a direct pathway to practice ownership — for LSW, LAC, LCSW, and LPC clinicians in New Jersey. Build a versatile, integrative foundation under the supervision of Andrew H. Kim, LCSW, LCADC, and graduate ready to open your own TA-affiliated independent practice.
IMPORTANT: Therapy Aligned does not currently provide NJ licensure supervision. Provisionally licensed applicants (LSW, LAC) must have their own external supervision already arranged prior to joining the fellowship. The clinical mentorship and group supervision provided within this fellowship are separate from state licensure supervision requirements.
The General Fellowship under Andrew H. Kim offers provisionally and fully licensed clinicians a structured, 2-year training experience grounded in an integrative framework. Fellows carry a supervised caseload from day one, treating adults across a range of presentations including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, co-occurring disorders, and relationship challenges.
This fellowship is designed for clinicians who want breadth — the ability to hold complexity, work fluidly across modalities, and develop a clinical identity that is both evidence-based and authentically relational. Andrew draws from psychodynamic theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Jungian analytic thinking, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and attachment-based approaches.
Fellows are not placed in a track and left to figure it out. Clinical learning happens through direct supervision, case consultation, and ongoing mentorship. The general fellowship is the ideal starting point for clinicians who want to develop flexibility, a strong therapeutic relationship skillset, and the foundation to specialize further as they move toward ownership.
Open to LSW, LAC, LCSW, and LPC clinicians who are either fully licensed or provisionally licensed with external supervision already in place. Fellowship cohorts are expected to include 7 to 10 fellows, ensuring a robust clinical learning community with genuine supervision access.
2-year structured program — individual supervision weekly (provisional fellows), biweekly group supervision for all fellows, and a supervised caseload from day one. All supervision included at no additional cost. Fellows are expected to maintain a minimum of 10 client sessions per week. Completion leads to eligibility for your own TA-affiliated independent practice.
Andrew is a dual-licensed clinician and co-founder of Therapy Aligned specializing in co-occurring disorders, IFS, and psychodynamic therapy. He is a lecturer at Rutgers University School of Social Work and has contributed to federally funded research including $2.3M+ in grants focused on behavioral health technology and systems.

This fellowship is open to clinicians who are currently licensed in New Jersey — either fully licensed (LCSW, LCADC, LPC) or provisionally licensed (LSW, LAC) who already have an external supervisor in place. Fully licensed clinicians enter the fellowship and proceed directly toward the ownership pathway, while continuing to receive group supervision led by Andrew.
The fellowship is built around three milestones that form the pathway to practice ownership: a minimum 2-year commitment to the program, achieving full licensure during or by the end of the fellowship period, and remaining in good standing throughout. These three milestones form the pathway to practice ownership — not barriers, but the investments that make the opportunity real.
Fully licensed in NJ (LCSW, LCADC, LPC) or provisionally licensed (LSW, LAC) with external supervision already in place. Minimum 2-year commitment, full licensure achieved during or by end of fellowship, and good standing throughout. 7 to 10 fellows per cohort. Applications reviewed on a rolling basis.
Fellows are expected to maintain a minimum of 10 client sessions per week. Supervisors in the Supervisor Track are expected to maintain a minimum of 5 client sessions per week (3 sessions per week for supervisors who have previously held personal payer contracts). Fellowship sizes are expected to be between 7 and 10 fellows per cohort.
