The post-doctoral fellow will provide diagnostic intake assessments, and outpatient intervention services to medically, developmentally, or psychologically complex or treatment refractory patients with anxiety and related disorders. Inpatient consultation service experiences are available and encouraged.

Diagnostic intake services will include conducting informed consent, clinical interview, brief screening (questionnaire administration and scoring), and providing feedback and recommendations to patients/families and referring providers.
