Clinical Psychology Postdoctoral Fellowship

You’ve just come through an intensive internship year. You’ve earned your degree, sharpened your skills, and proven you can do the work. Now the question is: where do you want to grow next — and where do you want to belong?

At CFA, we offer a rigorous and enriching, year-long clinical psychology postdoctoral fellowship designed to deepen your theoretical and practical experience in an outpatient setting. This clinical psychology postdoctoral experience is like no other: it builds on the solid clinical foundations you bring from your doctoral training and gives you significantly more hands-on experience working with, and supporting, children and their families than a typical clinical psychology postdoctoral fellowship offers.

Postdocs will develop advanced clinical skills while enjoying both exceptional supervision and genuine camaraderie by joining our warm, highly regarded team, at a group practice that puts your interest first!

CFA’s Clinical Psychology Postdoctoral Fellowship offers an exceptional opportunity for emerging clinicians to gain hands-on experience, hone their therapeutic skills, and make a meaningful impact in the lives of children, adolescents, and families. Our clinical psychology postdoctoral fellowship emphasizes a supportive, growth-oriented environment, and from day one, fellows are welcomed into our structured Early Career Clinician and Resident Training Program: a 9-month curriculum of weekly seminars, case consultation, and reflective practice that has trained generations of CFA clinicians in the skills, knowledge, and values that define the “CFA way.”

And unlike many clinical psychology postdoctoral fellowships, CFA isn’t just a stop along the way. It’s a place clinicians build a career. Many of our clinicians have been with CFA for close to 8 years, and several have called CFA home for 13+ years and counting. We invest in our fellows because we want this to be a place you’ll want to stay.

Child and Adolescent Therapy Track

Fellows focus on psychotherapy, managing a caseload of 22-28 weekly clinical hours with children and adolescents. Our clinical approach is strengths-based and skill-building, drawing on CBT, family systems, and other integrative approaches to establish and maintain momentum in treatment — helping clients and families build on what’s already working, not just address what isn’t. Modalities include individual, family, and group therapy, offering diverse and hands-on clinical experience, alongside:

• Psychological assessment. Fellows have the option to build diagnostic skills by combining therapy with psychological assessments for conditions such as ADHD, Autism, and mood disorders.
• School consultation. Fellows can tailor their caseload to gain experience working closely with schools, providing consultation on 504 and IEP meetings, and collaborating on interventions that support students’ socio-emotional growth, with the opportunity to shadow specialized school-based evaluations.

Grounded in Our Core Values

What sets this clinical psychology postdoctoral fellowship apart is that our core values aren’t a poster on the wall. They’re woven into your training and your daily clinical work:

• Make a Connection — You’ll build rapport and trust with clients and their families from your very first session, with dedicated seminar time devoted to the skills that make this possible.
• Do the Ordinary Things Extraordinarily Well — Diligence and attention to detail in routine clinical tasks are treated as core competencies, not afterthoughts.
• Do the Next Right Thing — You’ll practice ethical decision-making through real case consultation and supervision, building the judgment you’ll rely on for the rest of your career.
• Go the Extra Mile — You’ll be encouraged and supported in exceeding expectations for your clients, their families, and the schools and providers you collaborate with.

These values anchor every week of your clinical psychology postdoctoral fellowship and are actively reinforced through our postgraduate training curriculum, ensuring you leave not just with clinical hours, but with the professional identity to match.
