Position: CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST Company: Executive Mental Health Dedication: Full-time Location: On site in skilled nursing facilities within specified region Pay: $115,000.00 - $165,000.00 per year Are you a psychologist looking to make a real impact with an underserved population. This setting may surprise you-in the best way. It's late morning

You're sitting across from someone most people have stopped really seeing. They've been labeled "non-compliant," "difficult," "confused," or "behavioral." Their chart is thick. Their history fragmented

Their life-reduced to diagnoses and risk factors. But when you slow down, listen carefully, and meet them where they are, something shifts. They regulate.

They learn to trust. They remember they are still a person with a story. And then you realize something important: This work matters more than you were ever told it could.

Why Skilled Nursing. Why Now. Many psychologists never imagine themselves working in skilled nursing facilities.

Not because they wouldn't be good at it-but because no one ever explained what it actually looks like. And yet, the signs are clear it's a setting where they are much needed: With adults 65+ projected to reach 20% of the U.S. population by 2030, demand for clinical psychology and geropsychology in skilled nursing is rapidly increasing

Older nursing home residents have high rates of mental health and cognitive needs, creating a critical need for specialized psychological care in the setting. At Executive Mental Health (EMH), we focus specifically on this critical and growing need for quality mental healthcare in the skilled nursing facility setting. For 30 years, EMH has offered clinically practical, human-centered work to individuals residing in skilled nursing facilities, who often feel invisible.
