Position Summary

The UTHealth Center for Eating Disorders is seeking two full-time, licensed mental health professionals (LPC, LCSW, LMSW) to provide clinical services across our Outpatient (OP), Intensive Outpatient (IOP), and Partial Hospitalization (PHP) Programs. Clinical responsibilities will include conducting comprehensive initial assessments, treatment planning, and therapy (individual, family, and group) for adolescents (12-17) and adults (18+) with eating disorders.

Through our insurance-based, Outpatient Eating Disorders Clinic, candidates would offer traditional, evidence-based, outpatient therapy for adolescents and adults with anorexia nervosa, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), bulimia nervosa, and other specified feeding or eating disorder (OSFED), with and without comorbid anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Applicants chosen would adherently provide Maudsley Family-Based Treatment (FBT), Enhanced Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT-E), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for ARFID (CBT-AR), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). Those with interest in expanding outpatient services to include Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO DBT) would be enthusiastically welcomed to do so. All clinicians are expected to dedicate at least .2 FTE each week to the provision of outpatient services, with additional opportunities for internal moonlighting for those that desire supplemental income.

Through our Adolescent Eating Disorders PHP/IOP, we use a stepped-care approach to the treatment of adolescents with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and OSFED. If families and their loved ones are struggling to improve at our outpatient level of care, or are simply in need of more support, our stepped-care approach to treatment allows us to seamlessly provide patients with the same therapy at higher levels of care, while systematically integrating additional evidence-based treatments that are shown to be effective in addressing their eating concerns.

Our IOP is soundly rooted in FBT, CBT-E, and ERP, while our PHP expands on this model to offers additional biotemperament-based tracks of DBT and RO DBT. All clinicians are expected to dedicate at least .8 FTE each week to the provision of PHP/IOP services. Program hours are 7am-3pm.

Additional responsibilities include the opportunity to: supervise practicum students/ interns; co-present didactics to trainees across disciplines of psychology, social work, counseling, nutrition, psychiatry, and adolescent medicine; engage in presentations geared towards the local community; attend regular interdisciplinary consultation team meetings; and meet individually for regular case consultation with the program director.
