2024-2025 Postdoctoral Fellowship in CBT for Anxiety Disorders at the 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.
Fellow Responsibilities:
- Conduct individual therapy sessions with adults and teens (and optionally children) for a range of anxiety-related conditions. Common presentations include OCD, social anxiety, panic, generalized anxiety, trichotillomania, excoriation disorder, phobias, and PTSD.

Fellowship Benefits:
- Competitive compensation. Postdoctoral fellows may have the potential to earn over $70,000 if seeing an average of 25 patient hours per week, with higher earnings possible.
