Clinical Psychologist

As a Clinical Psychologist at Senior Care Therapy, you will be responsible for conducting initial assessments, providing individual and group therapy sessions, collaborating with treatment teams, and ensuring all documentation is completed efficiently using our electronic health system. You'll help seniors navigate their psychological challenges in a supportive environment.

To apply for the Clinical Psychologist position at Senior Care Therapy, you need to possess a valid Clinical Psychologist license (either Ph.D., Psy.D, or EdD) in the state you're applying. Experience working with a geriatric population is a plus, as is a background in handling anxiety, depression, and adjustment disorders.

Senior Care Therapy offers numerous benefits for Clinical Psychologists, including an excellent salary, comprehensive health benefits, a 401(k) plan, and generous PTO. We also provide a flexible daytime schedule, eliminating the stress of administrative tasks, allowing you to focus on what you do best—providing care.

While previous experience in skilled nursing, hospice, or home care is beneficial, it is not strictly required for the Clinical Psychologist role at Senior Care Therapy. We welcome applicants from various clinical backgrounds who are driven to make a difference in the geriatric community.

At Senior Care Therapy, we prioritize a work-life balance for our Clinical Psychologists. With flexible daytime hours, and no mandatory weekends, you can enjoy a fulfilling career while still having time to relax and recharge. This allows you to maintain your personal life while providing outstanding care to your patients.
