Foothills CBT is pleased to announce an opening for an exceptionally trained Postdoctoral Fellow specializing in child and adolescent anxiety, with a built-in pathway to transition into a staff psychologist position after achieving licensure.
The fellow will join our growing child and adolescent team, providing evidence-based, exposure-focused treatment to children and teens with anxiety disorders and related concerns such as OCD, using exposure and response prevention (ERP). Fellows work with additional populations, such as college students and young adults, based on their clinical interests.
Postdoctoral candidates must hold a doctoral degree from an APA-accredited Ph.D. or Psy.D. program and have completed an APA-approved internship in clinical psychology. The qualified candidate must have experience and supervised training in at least two evidence-based therapies (CBT, DBT, ACT) and a demonstrated interest in, or experience with, treating anxiety in children and adolescents, including exposure-based CBT.
Compensation & Benefits: Compensation is structured as fee-for-service, with earnings based on a percentage of services provided. Full-time postdoctoral fellows can expect an annual income ranging from $55,000–$75,000, based on caseload. In addition, fellows receive a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision insurance; liability insurance; retirement benefits; paid sick leave; generous discretionary leave; and reimbursement for additional training opportunities. We offer all the advantages of private practice, including competitive compensation, flexibility in scheduling, and generous time off without the burdens of running a business. You will not need to worry about marketing, administrative tasks, startup expenses, or overhead. Instead, you will have the freedom to build a caseload centered on child and adolescent anxiety, as well as additional clinical interests. Applicants interested in also working with college students and young adults are encouraged to apply.
Training & Professional Development: At Foothills CBT, training and growth are central to the fellowship experience. We follow a growth-based training model, supporting fellows in a gradual progression toward increasing autonomy as independent clinicians. Fellows receive weekly individual supervision and weekly group consultation to support clinical skill development and licensure preparation, in a truly open-door environment. They also benefit from ongoing case consultation, mentorship from experienced psychologists, and advanced training opportunities. Fellows will develop specialized expertise in the assessment and treatment of child and adolescent anxiety and will be supported in building that focus into their long- term caseload.
A Clear Career Path: This postdoctoral program is structured to prepare fellows for independent practice, with the potential opportunity to continue their careers at Foothills CBT. Fellows who demonstrate strong clinical skills and alignment with our values may be invited to transition directly into a staff psychologist position upon licensure. This brings career stability, expanded earning potential, greater autonomy, and ongoing opportunities to refine areas of specialization and strengthen clinical expertise, all within a supportive, collaborative environment.
