Description

Emory University Department of Pediatrics and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta are seeking a Clinical Psychologist. Children’s Behavioral and Mental Health Center is undergoing rapid growth and transformation. We are working to innovate the mental health care system for children in Georgia and are recruiting dedicated team members who are eager to join this mission.

We are seeking a Clinical Psychologist with experience in using evidenced-based family therapy. This position is eligible for a faculty appointment through the Emory University School of Medicine, if desired. Rank is commensurate with experience. Candidates with a strong background in the application of functional family therapy (FFT) preferred.

The psychologist will work within the Children’s general outpatient clinic, providing treatments such as family therapy. Additionally, the psychologist will conduct family-based interventions with caregivers and maintain collateral contacts with educators and other providers, as needed. Appointments are a mixture of in-person and telehealth.

Psychologists work closely with child and adolescent psychiatrists, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners, behavioral and mental health therapists (LCSWs and LPCs), and nurse case managers to develop and implement a comprehensive care plan for each patient. Psychologists participate in the training of psychology doctoral interns and postdoctoral fellows as well other behavioral mental health trainees. Opportunities for program development across our acute clinical care settings are possible.

This is a full-time position, with split between direct clinical care and administrative time. Applicants should have a PhD or PsyD from an APA/CPA accredited program and must have completed an APA accredited child internship. Additionally, applicants must have expertise in treating children and adolescents using evidence-based treatment approaches. This position is open to both early career and experienced psychologists. Applicants should be licensed or licensed-eligible in Georgia prior to employment and must obtain board certification within hospital timelines.
