Postdoctoral Fellow Women's Behavioral Health

The fellowship will prepare trainees to provide a broad range of behavioral health services in an outpatient behavioral health setting, with a focus on women's behavioral health. We provide patients with state-of-the-art care for mood and anxiety disorders, sexual health, substance use disorders and stress, with a special emphasis on the peripartum, gynecologic and breast cancers, menopause, and the menstrual cycle. In addition to providing clinical services, fellows participate in clinical supervision, didactics, and research activites as agreed upon with the mentor(s). Throughout the training year, fellows work closely with interdisciplinary team members (e.g., psychiatry, psychology, social work). Fellows will also have the opportunity to work closely with other WBH trainees and other psychology fellows in the department.
