Bill Caperton , PhD
Psychologist and Group Supervisor
Bill is the Group Supervisor at Hamm Clinic, where he oversees group therapy programming in addition to providing individual therapy and clinical supervision. He completed his PhD in Counseling Psychology at Marquette University, his MA in Counseling at St. Mary’s University of Minnesota, and his undergraduate degree in English and Film Studies at the University of Pittsburgh. He also holds a certificate in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy from the New Center for Psychoanalysis in Los Angeles.
His therapeutic approach is an integration of contemporary psychodynamic psychotherapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, a mindfulness-based, values guided, experiential behavioral approach. What this means in practice is that he will work collaboratively with you to disclose sources of meaning in your life, while facilitating the development of new perspectives on your internal emotional worlds, in the service of pursuing increasingly clarified values. At times this will include looking at patterns in current and past relationships that may be contributing to “stuck” points, while at others it will include guided experiential exercises aimed at dislodging patterns of behavior that are no longer serving you in building a more vital, engaged, meaningful existence.
Bill’s previous experience includes providing counseling to undergraduate, graduate, and professional students at UCLA, USC’s Keck School of Medicine, and the University of Iowa, as well as working within the VA system in both Minneapolis and Milwaukee. Prior to becoming a psychologist, he worked in the music industry as a performer, manager, and booking agent, and has a particular interest in helping artists, writers, actors, musicians and creative spirits of all types achieve their full potential.

Rosemary O’Brien , PsyD, LP
APA Program & Assessment Program Supervisor
Rosie O’Brien is a Clinical Psychologist and Supervisor at Hamm Clinic. She is a Member of the Psychology Training Committee and Cultural Responsiveness Committee. Rosie earned her MA at St. Mary’s University, and her PsyD at the Minnesota School of Professional Psychology. Rosie provides psychodynamically and relationally informed therapy to individuals and works from an emotional focused and Gottman informed perspective with couples. She provides supervision to trainees in our training program and is currently supervising two post-doctoral candidates.
Rosie thinks the way humans develop and function reflects their experience with early relationships with significant others, and other individual, intergenerational, and cultural factors. Through exploration and reflection, she works to provide a safe and supportive environment in which the client and she can collaborate in deepening the client’s understanding of who they are and what they are experiencing. Rosie works to increase clients’ understanding of how they relate to themselves and to others. Her approach to therapy focuses beyond symptom relief and seeks to increase the ability to cope and develop resources that support new ways of being and relating outside the therapy office. She thinks that therapeutic change happens in the presence of a relatively unconditionally accepting presence of an interactive and interpreting other. Rosie also realizes that we are all cultural beings and as such individual change cannot be separated from how the culture to which an individual belongs changes.
Rosie has special training and/or interest in: grief and loss, anxiety, depression, couples, mindfulness, interpersonal neurobiology, relational work, trauma, and group therapy. Rosie is committed to working from an anti-oppressive framework, understanding the impact of her identities on the clinical relationship, and maintaining cultural humility.
