Post-Doctoral Fellowship
Each fall, Center for Evidence Based Treatment (CEBT) offers one or more post-doctoral psychology fellowships for candidates who are passionate about delivering evidence-based treatments while working in an environment that emphasizes training and collegial support.
CEBT is a treatment clinic that provides evidence-based therapy, supervision and training for a range of psychological concerns. Our practice is physically located in Cleveland, OH, and we serve clients both in-person and remotely throughout the state of Ohio, and other states where our staff are licensed.
Cleveland residence is NOT required for fellows. While this is a fellowship that prepares for OH licensure and involves practice with OH-located clients, we welcome applicants who would complete the fellowship locally or remotely, within or outside of the state, pending approval from your jurisdiction’s licensing board.
We treat a wide range of psychological conditions (e.g., anxiety disorders, eating disorders, trauma/stressor disorders, personality disorders, mood disorders) utilizing evidence-based treatments, primarily within a cognitive-behavioral orientation. We offer comprehensive DBT programming (individual therapy, skills group and phone coaching) for adults and adolescents/families, along with a DBT consultation team. We specialize in the treatment of complex/co-morbid eating disorders with DBT and our practice is led by a clinician/researcher (Dr. Wisniewski) who has spearheaded this treatment approach.
CEBT’s postdoctoral fellowship spans two years. It provides thoughtful, planned, and sequential training experiences aimed at promoting the growth and skills needed for preparing psychologists-in-training for entry-level independent practice and licensure. Training at CEBT provides a unique opportunity in a group practice setting to not only be trained in evidence-based transdiagnostic care, but also specialize in diagnosis-specific treatment approaches and modalities. Supervisory staff operate from a developmental approach to supervision and continually monitor the progress of each fellow throughout the fellowship.
CEBT’s postdoctoral fellowship is designed to meet the requirements for post-internship training in Ohio.
