UTHealth Houston Psychology Postdoctoral Program

The Psychology Postdoctoral Fellowship Program at UTHealth Houston Behavioral Sciences Campus, consistent with licensure requirements of the Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists (TSBEP), is a 12-month fellowship designed to offer a programmed sequence of supervised training, clinical experiences, and research to prepare fellows to function as competent professional psychologists. Primary responsibilities for the fellow will include training in the provision of evidence-based psychological intervention, assessment, supervision, and consultation services with adult patients.

Specifically, training in group psychotherapies; evidence-based individual psychotherapies within a brief intervention model; and diagnostic, cognitive and response style assessments will be provided. Opportunities to provide therapy and assessment services to adolescents and children are also available. Additionally, the postdoctoral fellow will be responsible for program-based research opportunities, including research regarding severe mental illness, treatment outcomes, and trauma. Fellows are offered opportunities to conduct clinical research, assist in program development, and provide tiered supervision to psychology practicum students, predoctoral interns, and psychiatry residents. Opportunities to teach didactics and lead case conferences are also available.
