Annica Carlsson, new supervisor at the psychology programme
Annica is the new supervisor at the psychology program, she is one of four supervisors who mainly supervise the students who work at Mid Sweden University's psychology clinic.
How does it feel to start here with us?
It feels great and exciting to start working with you. I look forward to using my knowledge and experience to supervise students, but also to be in a creative environment where the focus is on learning and development.
What is your background?
I have been a psychologist for 22 years and live in Mora with two teenage children. Over the years, he has worked in psychiatry, at a treatment center for eating disorders and also with neuropsychiatric assessments.
However, I have mainly worked with psychotherapeutic interventions based on CBT, both with adolescents and adults. Over the years, I have also supervised more and more, both in psychotherapy programs and in various psychiatric activities.
Do you have any connection to Östersund?
Yes, I was actually born in Östersund and lived here until I was about 4 years old. My grandmother also lived in Östersund during my childhood and teenage years and I visited her often. So I have many fond memories of Östersund, but I know the city mainly from a child's perspective and what it looked like 30-40 years ago. So it feels fun and exciting to have the opportunity to rediscover the city as an adult!
