Job Description

Our team is looking for a new member! We have a stable, well-functioning staff and have worked hard to develop and maintain a team-focused work environment that is nourishing and kind. Our Center provides a comprehensive array of services in a small, private liberal arts college context.

We are a high utilization, high touch environment with a clinical model that prioritizes treatment and is accessible. We’re proud of our model and the work that we do, especially at a time when working in higher ed can be challenging.

We’re looking for a strong generalist who values being a therapist and wants to work as part of a team that values a good sense of humor. We take a collaborative team-based approach where flexible and focused supervision is a priority and taking one’s self lightly and having fun is important.

We are also looking for a colleague who is interested in integrating into the campus community and participating in a collaborative approach to wellness. Our office values approaching ourselves and our students in ways that reflect the complexity of being human.

We also value providing excellent care to traditionally underserved and/or underrepresented students; experience with African American, Latinx, and/or AAPI students is desired. Experience providing group therapy and/or coordinating groups is also desired.

Primary Responsibilities

Providing individual psychotherapy, keeping timely records of clinical and other activities, participating in a backup (to Protocall) on-call rotation, and participating in outreach activities in areas such as RA training and orientation programming.

We also encourage all of our staff to identify and explore specific areas of interest that coincide with their personal and professional development, and we strongly support those areas of interest. Opportunities to coordinate groups is a possibility.

Supervision and hours to meet NY State Licensure requirements will be provided. This is a full-time 10 month position.

Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications

Doctoral or Masters degree in clinical or counseling psychology or Clinical Social Worker, and at least one year of experience in a college or university counseling center (can include internship year; pre-licensure applicants accepted).

Desired Qualifications

Experience with or interest in group therapy and/or groups coordination; experience working with African American, Latinx, and/or AAPI students; experience with eating disorders, sexual assault, or AOD concerns; and/or a history of working in higher education settings are all a plus.

The ability to provide connected, compassionate, and sensitive therapy while responding efficiently and effectively to emergent needs is strongly desired. A sense of humor is a definite plus. Applicants from diverse backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply, as are licensed applicants.

Compensation Range

$65,000 - $70,000 per year
