I completed my pre- doctoral internship at the Veteran’s Affair’s Hospital in New York. I currently work with both the adult and adolescent population in the Chemical Dependency Department.

I was a post-doctoral resident myself in this clinic in 2007 and I can relate to the challenges and rewards of the post-doctoral year. As a supervisor, my approach is to create a collaborative and flexible environment that is tailored to the individual needs of the supervisee. On of my area of interests is in professional development which includes assisting residents in getting ready for the EPPP and licensure, resume writing, interview skills and job searches. Kate Lenhardt, Ph.D. 510-675-3322 [email protected] Hello, it’s a pleasure to introduce myself to you more personally. I have deeply enjoyed supervising the clinical work of our postdoctoral residents on the adult team. I have been the Director of Training for our Child and Adult Team Postdoctoral Residency Program since it’s inception in 2003. My greatest pleasure has been to work with my colleagues to create a rich experience for our residents. I have been a licensed psychotherapist since 1979 and have worked in a number of settings. This has given me a good perspective about the many facets of our field. I will support your growth as a psychologist in a way that feels right to you and brings relief to your patients. My training as a psychologist is psychodynamic and I generally conceptualize from this perspective. I have a keen interest in discussing transference and countertransference to better understand the process in the therapy room. At the same time, I often use cognitive-behavioral interventions with patients, in keeping with evidence-based approaches. Your well-being is also my concern during the residency and I am pleased that our 1 administration is very sensitive to the personal needs of staff and their families. I have been on the Adult Team in Union City since 1998 and wouldn’t want to work anywhere else as a psychologist.

Walter E. Christian, Jr., Ph.D. 510-675-4291 [email protected] Welcome, I am a licensed psychologist, who has been working at Kaiser for ten years. My current position is that of Chief of the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), where I support, supervise and manage a culturally diverse staff of highly trained clinicians. Prior to coming to Kaiser, I worked as a Neuropsychologist Psychologist at several hospitals in the Bay Area. My training, has allowed me to acquire specific knowledge regarding the treatment of a myriad of medical and psychological conditions, as well as the process of supervision. I attained my doctorate from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, in Counseling Psychology, with a minor in Psychological and Cultural Studies. It is my belief that the supervisee must have a consistent and accurate way of conceptualizing the client’s problems. In addition, he or she also needs to be familiar with several models of psychotherapy, as each model distinctively predicts how “change” will occur. Ultimately, the supervisee must possess sound psychotherapeutic strategies and techniques to become an effective clinician. The approach that I believe offers the best results is to initiate supervision based on what is needed to supplement preexisting knowledge. This must includes 3 psychosocial and cultural variables—e.g. gender roles, cultural values, social class variables and their impact on the therapeutic process. I have developed a passion for working with complex and challenging cases, which has allowed me to expand and sharpen my clinical skills. I would appreciate working with you regardless of your passion.
