Psychology Postdoctoral Fellowship in Pediatric Behavioral Health

Catalpa Health

Catalpa Health is accepting applications for two postdoctoral fellowship positions in pediatric psychology, with opportunity for focus in pediatric neuropsychology. Appointment date is projected to begin September 2026 with potential for flexibility.

Description:

Catalpa Health is an outpatient behavioral health clinic providing a continuum of mental health, wellness, and preventative services to children and adolescents as well as their families in northeastern Wisconsin. Formed through collaboration of three major hospital systems in the area (Ascension, Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, and ThedaCare), Catalpa Health is rooted in multidisciplinary care and community partnerships. Our approach to care is family centered, utilizing empirically based, trauma informed, and culturally sensitive interventions. For more information about Catalpa Health and the community we serve, please visit our website (catalpahealth.org).

Training Experiences:

This two-year fellowship includes education and training necessary for developing competency and independent practice in psychology. Fellows pursuing pediatric neuropsychology specifically will receive the necessary training to be eligible for board certification in clinical neuropsychology by the American Board of Professional Psychology.  The fellow will gain exposure to a variety of medical and neurological reasons for referral, with opportunity for differential diagnoses of a variety of psychiatric and developmental concerns, most commonly including anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, developmental delay/intellectual disability, and learning disability. There is opportunity to obtain specialty training in early childhood (birth through 6 years). Additional training opportunities within the fellowship include rotations in outpatient psychotherapy, intensive outpatient, and psychological testing. Patient populations include a wide variety of general presenting concerns for patients under 18 years of age. Outpatient opportunities may consist of a combination of individual and group therapy, with presenting concerns primarily including anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and behavioral issues.  Our intensive outpatient programming specializes in treating internalizing disorders using a variety of CBT, DBT, and experiential therapies.

Didactic and Supervision Experiences:

Catalpa is proud to partner with the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) Department of Neurology Neuropsychology Fellowship Program, with Catalpa postdoctoral fellows having opportunity to participate in MCW’s robust didactics such as Case Conference and the Neuropsychology Seminar Series. Fellows will also participate in Catalpa’s Pediatric Case Conference and Journal Club. There will be opportunities for supervision of doctoral students, master’s level clinicians and residents as well as teaching and educational experiences. This fellowship program allows for individualization and frequent interaction with licensed pediatric psychologists and neuropsychologists. All neuropsychologists with Catalpa Health are board-certified or eligible for board certification. Fellows will receive approximately 2 to 5 hours of supervision each week depending upon the rotation. Both group and individual supervision provide fellows with continuous evaluation and feedback.

Research Experiences:

As the main outpatient pediatric mental health center in the area, Catalpa Health is heavily interwoven into the local community and several grass roots initiatives. The fellowship will provide opportunity to participate in projects and ongoing research dedicated to improving the lives of children and their families.

Eligibility:

By the start of fellowship applicants must have completed their doctoral degree from an APA accredited clinical or counseling psychology program, including completion of an APA accredited pre-doctoral internship. Specific internship rotations or training experiences in child therapy and neuropsychological testing are strongly preferred. Additional training in autism and early childhood is a plus.
