The University of Missouri’s Center for Behavioral Health is amongst the largest psychological assessment practices in Missouri and is considered to be the primary provider of psychological evaluation services in the St. Louis region.

In addition to the post-doc, CBH offers training to clinical psychology graduate students, interns from an APA-accredited program, and has a large staff of full-time licensed psychologists and other mental health professionals.

As a training clinic at the University, CBH remains at the forefront of assessment practice and our staff and trainees regularly benefit from our extensive ongoing professional development program. Postdoctoral fellows at CBH conduct a wide variety of assessments and provide outpatient therapy services to children, adolescents, and adults under the supervision of staff psychologists. Assessments include comprehensive evaluations of children, adolescents, and adults with severe emotional disturbances, forensic parenting competency evaluations, violence risk assessments, psychosexual evaluations, and evaluations of learning and attention disorders. There may also be opportunities to participate in Collaborative Assessments. Common treatment issues addressed in therapy include mood disorders, relationship problems, trauma, and personality disorders. Postdoctoral fellows receive ample supervision.

The fellowship fulfills the post-doctoral supervision requirements for psychology licensure in the state of Missouri. Fellows also participate in didactic training experiences.
