Postdoctoral Fellowship in CBT/ERP/ACT for Anxiety Disorders at Philadelphia's Center for Anxiety, OCD, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

The Center for Anxiety, OCD, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a premier fee-for-service cognitive-behavioral specialty practice based in Philadelphia and offering telehealth services throughout PA, NJ, and NY, is delighted to offer a Postdoctoral Fellowship for the 2024-2025 cycle. Focused on providing services that combine evidence-based intervention with compassionate care, we aim to help patients of all ages break free from the grips of anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, and related disorders and maintain their well-being over time.

This fellowship is ideal for recent graduates from APA-accredited psychology programs who have a strong grounding in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), exposure-based therapies, and third-generation approaches for anxiety-related disorders and wish to further specialize in these areas. Fellows will work closely with a sophisticated clientele, including professionals, college students, teenagers, and families, delivering both in-person and telehealth services.
