Cognitive and Behavioral Consultants of Westchester (CBCW), LLP, invites applications for a one-year postdoctoral fellowship beginning September of 2012. CBCW is an evidence-based treatment center that serves children, adolescents, adults, families and couples. Our center is located in White Plains, NY, and was founded in 2004 by Drs. Lata McGinn and Alec Miller, both of whom are internationally recognized experts in their respective fields of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). CBCW is comprised of a select group of highly skilled clinicians who have been intensively trained in CBT and DBT, and who have obtained additional specialized training for a variety of disorders. We provide comprehensive treatment in both CBT and DBT. We have a collegial and stimulating environment and offer an outstanding opportunity to receive comprehensive training and supervision in CBT and DBT.
Post-doctoral fellows will conduct individual, family and group therapies, and co-lead one or more CBT groups and/or DBT skills training groups with highly trained therapists/supervisors. Fellows receive several hours of individual and group supervision per week coupled with participation in a weekly DBT therapist consultation meeting and didactic seminars on CBT and DBT.
This comprehensive training experience also includes monthly CBT consultation team, as well as a lecture series in which nationally and internationally renowned speakers are invited from the CBT and DBT communities.
In addition, post-doctoral fellows will be eligible to apply for an optional 2nd year of supervision and training under the new title and salary of junior psychologist. In this role, the junior psychologist will supervise pre-doctoral psychology students and further develop areas of specialization and interest (e.g., starting specialized groups, giving talks in community, co-authoring manuscripts). This addition to our postdoctoral program reflects both the expansion of our practice, and our dedication to providing comprehensive training that prepares psychologists for multiple career opportunities in the field.
This is an outstanding opportunity to join our cohesive team of clinicians who are dedicated to clinical training and to providing evidence-based services. To learn more about CBCW, please visit our website at: www.cognitivebehavioralconsultants.com.
Applicants should have completed their doctoral degree and an APA approved internship by the start date, and have prior experience conducting CBT with children, adolescents, adults and families. Experience or interest in DBT is highly desirable.
We offer a competitive salary and benefits package.
Interested applicants should submit electronic copies of their CV, cover letter, and three letters of reference to Ms. Jessica Gershen at applicants@cognitivebehavioralconsultants.com. The subject line should read: “CBCW Postdoc Application”. General email inquiries are also welcome, and members of our staff will be attending the ABCT convention later this month. Application review will start in mid-December. The final application deadline is January 13, 2012.
