Job Summary

Trauma Continuum of Care – Partial Hospital and Outpatient Treatment Staff Psychologist Position at McLean Hospital Full Time

McLean Hospital, America's top-ranked psychiatric hospital, is inviting applications for a staff psychologist with roles providing both partial hospital and outpatient care.

Who We Serve

McLean Hospital's Trauma Continuum Partial Hospital and Outpatient Program offers psychiatric and psychological services for adults (18 years of age or older) who have histories of trauma, and are diagnosed with a trauma-related disorder, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and/or dissociative disorders, including Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).

Partial Hospital Services

The focus of partial hospital treatment includes establishing stability through the acquisition and application of grounding techniques, education, and connection with others who share lived experience. Treatment is informed by evidence-based therapies and interventions designed for treating PTSD and related problems. The group-based treatment program is designed for individuals who need more structure and intensive treatment than can be received from outpatient treatment alone. Additionally, the program serves as an adjunct to individual therapy or as a support during transition from inpatient hospitalization to one's home environment.

Outpatient Services

Our Outpatient Program offers adjunctive, time-limited, evidence-based, individual and group psychotherapy as well as medication management services. Outpatient services focus on processing and improving trauma-related thoughts, feelings, and behaviors as well as reconnecting with important relationships and resuming meaningful activities. A prerequisite for trauma-focused treatment at the outpatient level is the ability to maintain safety and stability and the effective use of grounding and self-regulation skills.

Responsibilities

The Staff Psychologist position will combine clinical care and teaching and supervision of students and trainees.

Qualifications

• Ph.D. in clinical psychology from an accredited university or school of psychology.
• Current licensure (or license eligible) in Massachusetts.
• Completion of an APA-accredited internship.
• Postdoctoral training and/or experience in the assessment and treatment of trauma and dissociative disorders.
• Expertise in evidence-based trauma treatments across both stages of trauma recovery.
• Experience providing individual and group psychotherapy to adults with complex trauma presentations.
