Job description

Reliatus Behavioral Health is seeking a high-level Licensed Clinical Psychologist (HSP) to lead our Autism & Diagnostic Assessment team in Nashville, Tennessee. This is a unique "track-to-leadership" role: we are looking for a clinician who has the vision and expertise to grow into an Associate Director of Clinical Services as our Nashville operations expand.

This role focuses on "gold-standard" diagnostic evaluations for ages 1–21 and provides oversight to a growing team of pre-licensed clinicians and testing technicians.

• Conduct comprehensive autism and differential diagnostic evaluations using ADOS-2, ADI-R, and MIGDAS-2.
• Provide "clinically excellent" reports that translate complex data into actionable, strengths-based recommendations for Nashville-area families and schools.
• Serve as the clinical lead for complex cases requiring expert differential diagnosis (ASD vs. ADHD, trauma, or mood disorders).
• Provide clinical supervision to Psychological Residents (post-docs) and Certified Psychological Assistants/Technicians in accordance with Tennessee Rule 1180-02.
• Act as the "Supervisor of Record" for clinicians accruing hours toward their HSP designation.
• Review and sign off on all psychological products, ensuring they meet the ethical standards of the Tennessee Board.

• Program Development: Assist in the design and scaling of assessment protocols.
• Leadership: Transition into overseeing the Nashville office’s clinical quality, workflow, and staff development.
• Community Liaison: Build relationships with Nashville pediatricians and school districts to streamline the referral process.

Qualifications

• Education: Doctorate (PhD or PsyD) in Clinical Psychology from an APA-accredited program.
• Licensure: Active license as a Psychologist in Tennessee with Health Service Provider (HSP) designation (or highly eligible for reciprocity by May).
• Experience: * 3+ years of experience in pediatric assessment.
• Prior experience in a "Lead" or "Senior" role is a plus, as this role transitions to Associate Director.
