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.

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.
