Center for Anxiety accepts applications for Postdoctoral Fellowship positions on a rolling basis at multiple office locations.
The Center for Anxiety offers a 12-month Doctoral Internship in Health Service Psychology. Our internship program is fully accredited by the American Psychological Association.
Our program provides interns with an immersive experience that offers both breadth and depth in developing competence in evidence-based clinical practice with diverse populations in an outpatient setting. Our agency’s mission is to synergistically combine clinical practice, education, and research to help our patients achieve their goals and lead healthy, meaningful, and fulfilling lives. We are caring clinicians, working, and growing together to provide effective outpatient and intensive treatment to make a difference in the communities we serve.
Specific responsibilities of the Doctoral Intern include:
- Interns will have the opportunity to provide direct clinical services to a mix of child, adolescent, and adult patients in our standard outpatient and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs, and are trained in various evidence-based treatment modalities including, but not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, Behavioral Activation, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
- Interns will learn to deliver these specialized interventions to patients presenting with various anxiety, obsessive-compulsive and mood disorders, at varying degrees of distress and impairment.
- Over the course of the training year, as interns progress, they gain experience with gradually more complex and challenging cases that require an increasingly higher level of clinical skill and knowledge.
Interns are also provided with advanced technological resources to enhance research, clinical outcomes, and professional development.
All of these clinical experiences are supported with a rich didactics program, individual supervision, and ad hoc consultation with members of our clinical staff across offices in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Rockland County, and Boston.

- Applicants must be in the final year of a clinical, counseling, school, or combined psychology doctoral program and must have completed all pre-internship coursework and other academic requirements, including an approved dissertation proposal, prior to the start of the internship year.
