Testing Psychologist

Job Description & Overview

Our multi-specialty practice is eager to add a psychologist, who is passionate about formal testing and assessment, to our treatment team. While the job is focused largely on psychological assessment and evaluation, candidates can also look forward to providing individual and group psychotherapy, if desired. Formal training in psychological measures relevant to intelligence, achievement, executive functioning, and clinical domains, are mandatory for the job, though applicants are encouraged to develop their own niche or specialty domains based on clinical interests (say AD/HD, ASD, personality) and preferred age range or demographics. Consultation between colleagues and close supervision are available and encouraged. Applicants may operate at a master's or doctoral level (LLP/LP).

An ideal candidate for this position is someone that is looking to further their career in clinical practice, while establishing themselves as a critical part of a multi-disciplinary team.

What We offer

Meaningful Change: Clinical & Consultation Psychology is pleased to provide a professional, clinically driven, safe, and collaborative work environment, where treatment providers can expect reliable compensation and leadership. Our clinical staff are encouraged to pursue excellence in patient care, professional development, and collegiate collaboration, while leaving the burden of administrative tasks, referrals, marketing, and finances, to our practice management team. We are proud to be a genuine multi-disciplinary practice where psychology, psychiatry, counseling and social work can collaborate to optimize patient outcomes.

Why Private Practice?

As compared to the larger group practices and medical systems, our small outpatient private practice allows clinicians to focus on their primary interest – patient care, without the burdens of bureaucratic red tape, micromanagement, or hidden expectations. Clinical staff at this practice enjoy greater decision-making autonomy, choice of clientele, freedom to tailor treatment plans, and encouragement to develop their clinical specialties. Treatment providers enjoy the flexibility of setting their work schedules within our private practice structure, are never asked to take on-call hours, and over time, may elect for a mix of in-person, and online sessions.

Required Education & Licensure

A master's degree in clinical psychology (or equivalent) and commensurate licensure in the State of Michigan (LLP or LP) is mandatory for the position. Doctorate holders (PhD or PsyD) will enjoy greater compensation.

While independent licensure is strongly preferred, exceptional candidates seeking post-degree supervision and training, who are an excellent long-term fit for the practice, will also be considered

  1. Applications should include a resumé.

  2. We encourage an open discussion about your career goals and goodness of fit for the practice during an in-person interview. This is required for all qualified candidates.

  3. A cover letter with a statement of interest may be helpful in outlining your career goals. This is encouraged, though not required.

  4. References should be on the applicant’s resumé, though any letters of reference (optional) will be reviewed by the hiring manager.

  5. All new employees (including contractual staff) will have a supervisory period to assess competence, fitness, and for the purpose of third-party credentialing.
