The MCCBT Postdoctoral Fellowship

Update 10/22/22: We are now accepting applications for the 2023-24 academic training year.

The Manhattan Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has had a training program since 2010. Post-doctoral fellows can be part-time or full-time, and see a caseload of adults, teens, and/or children, depending on supervisor availability.  The clinical emphasis is on the skillful application of evidence-based and, when possible, manual-based treatments. Fellows receive both individual and group supervision, and participate in weekly didactics seminars, as described below.

Our weekly didactic seminars include four components that provide comprehensive clinical training in CBT: reviewing current research and literature, supervised CBT skills practice, case conferences, and clinical considerations relevant to the patient population at MCCBT. The didactics seminar has been described by trainees as being a particularly valuable part of their experience at MCCBT; it is one way in which we emphasize the importance of research-informed clinical work. Didactics are led by Pallavi Visvanathan, Ph.D.
