Courageous Conversations in Evidence Based Treatment

Center for Evidence Based Treatment (CEBT) is welcoming applications for a post-Master’s counseling or social work fellow to begin with us in Fall 2025.

We are looking for candidates who are passionate about delivering evidence-based treatments while working in an environment that emphasizes training and collegial support.

WHO WE ARE

CEBT is a treatment clinic that provides evidence-based therapy, supervision and training for a range of mental health 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. Note: Cleveland residence is NOT required for fellows. While this is a fellowship that meets requirements for OH licensure and involves practice with OH-located clients, we welcome applicants who would complete the fellowship remotely, within or outside of the state, pending approval from your jurisdiction’s licensing board.

OUR SCOPE OF PRACTICE

We treat a wide range of mental health 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.
