“This program has really fit perfectly into my life both working full-time and with my personal responsibilities. I am very grateful and know it is helping me to be a better coach.”

“I have found that this 10-month program was not just a program for me, it was a journey. And it was a journey that I did not know I needed to take. And one that quite honestly I was not prepared for because in working through how to coach others, I in turn was coached by an amazing cohort of people…I knew who I was, but I am grounded in who I am now.”

“I would say that the connections, the vulnerability, that’s there, there’s a really intentional way the course is designed to build off of that that I think a lot of academic programs don’t really do with the same quality and tact.”

“You’re going to be a better listener, a better communicator, you’re going to be more empathetic, and the big aha for me was not just how I get to apply learning in my vocation professionally but how I can apply it in my personal life daily, how it makes me a better person, better in my marriage, a better communicator with relationships with other individuals. I wasn’t expecting that.”

“The HTI postdoctoral fellowship was an amazingly rich experience clinically and also immersed me in the crossroads of tech and mental healthcare.”

Institute Postdoctoral Fellows

“Something that I absolutely LOVED about HTI's training program is the emphasis in DEIB. Culturally responsive care was emphasized in case consultation, postdoc seminar, clinical work with members, and individual/group meetings with my peers, colleagues, supervisors, and directors of various Headspace functions.”

Testimonials provided by 2022-2023 Headspace Training
Institute Postdoctoral Fellows

“The intentional integration of DEIB throughout the organization has made this postdoc year incredible. I had the opportunity to not only learn from but also partner with incredible leaders at Headspace and I have gained SO much professionally and personally from my clinical work, DEIB track, and supervisory experiences!”

“My favorite part of training with HTI was the community of my peers and supervisors. I felt cared for - not only as a clinician/postdoc but as a full human being.”

“HTI leadership and supervisors also intentionally aim to discuss and dismantle power hierarchies - even at the director level - to support trainees in developing autonomy and self-confidence.”
