Firstly, Anxiety Solutions of Denver is serious about embracing diversity and equal opportunity. We are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. The more inclusive we are, the better we will be at our core values of being effective therapists and making top-quality care for anxiety and OCD available to all.

We are a private practice based in Denver, Colorado. We are highly specialized in the treatment of anxiety disorders, OCD, and other related problems. We practice behavior therapy with a strong emphasis on exposure therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness.

Our postdoctoral fellowship position is an excellent opportunity for those interested in a career specializing in treating anxiety and OCD. Fellows will receive extensive training and supervision in assessment of anxiety disorders, treatment plan formulation, behavioral theory and its application, exposure therapy techniques, ACT, and other topics related to behavior therapy and the treatment of anxiety disorders. Fellows will carry a caseload of roughly 25 hours per week seeing adult, teen, and child clients and will also receive weekly supervision and consultation, as well as some guided self-study on research literature about anxiety and OCD. Your client load will be almost entirely clients with anxiety disorders and OCD. A small percentage of your caseload will also be working with PTSD, trichotillomania, and skin picking disorder. Clients will be mostly adults (age 18 and up), though you would also be seeing some child and adolescent clients (and if you are more interested in specializing in children, more of your caseload can be comprised of kid clients).

We have a dedicated administrative staff that handles scheduling and billing, so administrative work for our therapists is kept to a minimum.

We believe our practice is a fun place to work! You will be around good, low-BS people in a collegial environment. Our organizational philosophy is that happy therapists lead to happy clients, so we pay well and are big promoters of good self-care, burnout prevention, time off, and not having to take work home. Your total work time per week should be around 35 hours, certainly no more than 40. The things we are seeking in applicants for this position are, in order of importance: – Passion for treating anxiety and OCD and strong desire to spend your career in this area. – Behavioral theoretical orientation – Training in and experience using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy – Specialized experience working with anxiety and OCD – Comfort using a straightforward, direct therapeutic style –Training in and experience using exposure therapy (this is lower on the list because doing exposure therapy is the bulk of what we’re going to teach you anyway).
