Post Doctoral Fellow, Psych Training

The Klarman Center is a 20-bed, open-door, acute residential treatment center and a seven-day per week, 12-hour per day step down partial hospital treatment program. We treat young women ages 18 to 26, and occasionally older, with a primary diagnosis of anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder.

Many patients also have coexisting psychiatric illnesses including major depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders including obsessive compulsive disorder, trauma and PTSD, personality disorders, and substance use disorders which are treated simultaneously with the eating disorder.

The intensive treatment model offers individual therapy three times per week with one clinician, family therapy once to twice per week with a second clinician, full psychiatric assessment and psychopharmacological interventions, nutritional counseling, and a robust daily group therapy schedule.

Candidates will carry a mix of individual therapy and group therapy assignments with an opportunity to also carry family therapy cases if interested. Our large multidisciplinary team meets twice per week for two hours in clinical rounds where all patients are discussed at length.

Admissions are conducted with the full assigned team meeting with the patient and family together.

Two hours per week of individual clinical supervision will be provided in addition to a weekly psychologist-led group supervision for trainees of all disciplines.

There are numerous additional training opportunities to attend McLean Hospital's Grand Rounds weekly, Schwartz Rounds and special offerings through the Division of Women's Mental Health, which includes the Klarman Center.
