What is a military psychologist?

A Military Psychologist is a professional who specializes in assessing and treating the mental health of military personnel, veterans, and their families. They help individuals cope with stress, PTSD, combat trauma, and other psychological challenges related to military service. Their work can include conducting research, providing therapy, developing resilience programs, and advising military leadership on psychological well-being. Military Psychologists may work in various settings, such as military hospitals, bases, or deployed environments. Their goal is to enhance mental health, performance, and overall well-being within the military community.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a military psychologist?

To thrive as a Military Psychologist, you need an advanced degree in psychology (typically a PhD or PsyD), state licensure, and specialized knowledge of trauma and stress-related disorders in military populations. Familiarity with assessment tools such as the MMPI-2, PTSD scales, and electronic case management systems is often required. Strong interpersonal skills, cultural competence, and resilience are vital for building trust and supporting individuals facing high-pressure situations. These capabilities are essential to effectively address the unique mental health needs of service members and contribute to overall mission readiness.

What are the typical work settings and team dynamics for a military psychologist?

Military Psychologists may work on military bases, in field hospitals, or at Veterans Affairs facilities, often as part of multidisciplinary teams that can include physicians, nurses, and social workers. Collaboration is key, as you may be involved in case consultations, crisis interventions, and educational sessions for both service members and leadership. The role frequently involves both direct client care and participation in program development or research initiatives. Flexibility and adaptability are important, as you may sometimes be deployed or required to respond to emergent mental health situations within the military community.

Clinical Psychologist (Military Medical Standards)

Full Time JBSA LACKLAND, TX, US

3 days ago Requisition ID: 1065

Salary: $110,000.00 Annually

Help Evaluate the Next Generation of Airmen and Guardians

ABSS Solutions is seeking a licensed Clinical Psychologist to support the Headquarters Air Force Accessions Center in evaluating applicants for military service. Unlike traditional outpatient practice, this role emphasizes psychological evaluations, medical record review, military medical standards, and multidisciplinary consultation supporting accession decisions.

Who We're Looking For: We're looking for experienced Clinical Psychologists who enjoy applying sound clinical judgment within a structured, evidence-based evaluation environment. Rather than providing ongoing therapy, this role focuses on conducting objective psychological assessments, reviewing behavioral health documentation, and providing well-supported recommendations regarding accession eligibility under established Air Force medical standards.

The ideal candidate understands the importance of balancing clinical expertise with consistency in decision-making. They possess strong analytical and written communication skills, are comfortable evaluating complex behavioral health histories, and can clearly articulate recommendations supported by clinical evidence and applicable policy. Candidates who have experience with military populations, fitness-for-duty evaluations, disability assessments, medical evaluation boards, accession screening, or other forensic or occupational psychology settings will be particularly successful in this position.

We're seeking professionals who value collaboration, continuous learning, and quality improvement while contributing to a mission that directly supports the readiness and resilience of future Airmen and Guardians.

Responsibilities:
  • Conduct psychological evaluations supporting accession determinations.
  • Review behavioral health records.
  • Conduct telehealth interviews when required.
  • Develop clinical summaries and recommendations.
  • Apply Air Force and DoD mental health standards.
  • Collaborate with Flight Surgeons and Aerospace Medical Technicians.
  • Participate in quality reviews and policy implementation.
Required Qualifications:
  • Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) or equivalent doctoral degree.
  • Current unrestricted psychology license.
  • Minimum three (3) years serving as a Military Biomedical Science Corps Officer/Psychologist within the past fifteen (15) years.
  • Experience conducting military psychological evaluations.
  • Experience applying military medical standards.
  • Experience supporting special duty or accession evaluations.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Medical Evaluation Board experience.
  • Waiver review experience.
  • Director of Psychological Health experience.
  • Military operational psychology experience.
Why Join ASI
  • Government-approved telework available based on mission needs.
