Psychologist

Job description:

Can you turn an evaluation around like nobodys business? One that is reliable,

concise, and written in a way that a parent can understand? Are you humble enough to

know when you dont have all of the answers, but confident enough to add value to the

team by participating, collaborating, and providing helpful insight with other

professionals? If you have answered yes to all these questions and love challenges,

then your time will be well invested by reading forward.

We need a psychologist on our team who will step up to the challenge of putting the

their child and how to help them become the best they can be.

Producing a thorough, well-written, detailed report with descriptive diagnostic

formulation, that you would be proud of sharing (with peers, in court, on the

news, or with the APA ethics board).

Turning a high-quality report around within 14 days.

Contributing to the success and quality of the entire continuum of services,

especially through continued growth and development of all Clinicians.

checkboxes)

kids in their least restrictive environment.
