IECMH Fellowship

THE OPPORTUNITY

 

Build expertise. Grow your career. Find community.

 

LoveBuilt is now accepting applications for the Infant-Early Childhood Mental Health (IECMH) Fellowship, a structured clinical training pathway for mental health therapists who want to develop advanced expertise in working with children birth through 5 years old and their families.

​

The fellowship duration is 2 - 3 years, depending on whether participants select the Clinical track, the Consultation track, or both. The 2026 cohort begins in October.

 

This is a supported, practice-based fellowship for clinicians who want world-class training, transdisciplinary supervision and consultation, and a clear pathway towards specialization in IECMH clinical service provision and IECMH Consultation, all while being paid for clinical implementation of their new knowledge and skills. Fellows learn within a collaborative environment that values relationships, reflection, ethical practice, high standards, and sustainable careers.

• Training in attachment, early childhood development, dyadic caregiver-child therapy (including certification in IECMH evidence-based and evidence-informed assessment tools and clinical modalities), IECMH Consultation, neuroaffirming practice, and Reflective Supervision & Consultation

• Focused perinatal, child, and dyadic/family caseload

• Robust clinical training and supervision fully paid for by the agency

• Ongoing case consultation with transdisciplinary IECMH clinicians

• Individualized planning for long-term professional growth toward clinical specialization and leadership
