Inpatient and Outpatient Mood Disorders Postdoctoral Fellowship

The Inpatient & Outpatient Mood Disorders Postdoctoral Fellowship provides advanced clinical training in child psychology with an emphasis on mood disorders and acute short-term intervention. The fellowship is divided into two parts, with half of the time spent on our Child and Adolescent Inpatient Psychiatric Units and half the time in the Outpatient Mood Disorders Program.

In additional to direct clinical care, there is time dedicated for supervision, administrative time, and pursuing other clinical, research, and program development interests. As part of training, the fellow will also treat families as a part of our comprehensive outpatient Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) program providing individual therapy, phone coaching, co-leading multifamily DBT groups (optional), and participating in our multidisciplinary consultation team.
