Reporting to the Clinical Director, the Staff Psychologist serves 90% of the time as a member of the clinical faculty at CECT, JBCC's APA accredited outpatient training clinic and Harvard Medical School affiliate, delivering high fidelity cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and behavioral parent training (BPT) approaches in both in-person and virtual formats.

This position will help our Center expand access to high quality evidence-based outpatient services in Boston while assisting in training the next generation of clinicians through our practicum, internship, and postdoctoral fellowship training programs.

Adjustments to the job time distribution when project demands necessitate are possible.
We have a strong commitment to promoting the professional development of our staff and provide free, in-house training opportunities as well as free monthly continuing education seminars. Qualifying individuals are eligible for a faculty appointment at Harvard Medical School.
