Postdoctoral Fellowship Program in Student Mental Health
Yale Health Mental Health & Counseling (MHC) is accepting applications for a twelve-month postdoctoral fellowship in college mental health for graduates of APA-accredited doctoral programs in clinical and counseling psychology. The fellowship offers supervised clinical experience in student mental health at the college and university level, emphasizing outpatient treatment with undergraduate, graduate, and professional school students through individual and group psychotherapy. The fellowship provides advanced training and experience in consultation, evaluation, and crisis intervention. Fellows receive extensive supervision from senior clinicians and didactic training in the form of seminars, clinical rounds, and department grand rounds, which address topics specific to the college and young adult populations. Seminar topics include: group psychotherapy, psychopharmacology, child therapy, eating disorders, cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, substance abuse, and a continuous case seminar.
Yale Health, Mental Health and Counseling is committed to addressing Yale students’ psychological concerns and helping them achieve their intellectual and personal goals. We employ a diverse staff of clinicians consisting of clinical psychologists, clinical social workers, and psychiatrists who are skilled in diverse treatment approaches including psychodynamic therapy, group therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and medication management. We work collaboratively with students to identify the treatment approach that is most appropriate, considering their situation, preferences, and concerns.
