About Us

We are a passionate group of psychologists dedicated to providing personalized, research-supported clinical services for children, adolescents, and families with a range of social, emotional, and behavioral challenges. Our care is organized into three core areas—cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and neuropsychological testing—allowing us to tailor support to a wide range of needs. We also partner with schools and organizations to provide consultations, professional development workshops, and clinical services. As an established and expanding practice, we are excited about training clinicians, cutting edge research and treatment options, and utilizing technology to make our work easier. As has been the case since our practice was launched in 2015, we prioritize the health and happiness of our team members, outstanding training, and sound work-life balance.

The candidate will carry cases in our comprehensive DBT Program for Adolescents (DBT-A) and and children and families (DBT-CF), and can additionally see cases young adults. DBT cases involve providing individual therapy, leading/co-leading multi-family skills group (or individual family skills), phone coaching, parent sessions, and attending consultation team. The number of comprehensive DBT cases will be collaboratively determined. Cases seen through our CBT service include youth and/or adults with anxiety and OCD, ADHD and disruptive behavior, Tourette syndrome and tics, trichotillomania, depression, feeding disorders, and autism. The candidate will also write 1-2 clinically-relevant articles for publication on our website blog, and there are opportunities to present workshops for professionals and in the community, if desired.

Based on current client needs, the clinician will be expected to offer in-person availability 2-3 days per week. To accommodate the schedules of children and adolescents, the position also requires after-school availability 3-4 evenings per week.

Benefits, Salary, and Start Date

Fellows will receive 3+ hours of individual supervision from licensed psychologists within a mentorship model and will meet with the practice director regularly to ensure that they see the cases they are passionate about and are supported as they shape their professional specialization within the practice. DBT track fellows will also participate in weekly DBT consultation team led by a Linehan-Certified DBT Clinician. Fellows will also participate in periodic didactic trainings and attend monthly “Think Tank” staff meetings to collaborate with colleagues and contribute ideas for program development.
