SpringHealth Behavioral Health and Integrated Care

Overview

Licensed Psychologist – Psychological Assessment Focus

Clinically Led | Purpose-Driven | Impact-Focused

Are you a Licensed Psychologist who thrives in the world of psychological testing, diagnostic clarity, and meaningful clinical insight? If you love diving deep into assessment, interpretation, and comprehensive report writing — and prefer evaluation work over ongoing therapy — this role was built for you.

We are a clinically led organization committed to delivering high-quality, ethical, and compassionate care. Our team is made up of dedicated professionals who believe in enhancing lives through skillful, respectful, and person-centered services.

What You’ll Do

  • Conduct comprehensive psychological and diagnostic evaluations (e.g. autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, mood disorders, learning disorders, intellectual functioning, personality assessments)
  • Administer, score, and interpret a variety of standardized assessment tools
  • Develop clear, thorough, and clinically sound reports
  • Provide diagnostic clarity that supports treatment planning and life-changing outcomes
  • Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to ensure well-rounded care

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Assessment-focused position — no ongoing therapy caseload
  • Clinically driven culture where your expertise is respected
  • Meaningful impact through diagnostic insight
  • Supportive, collaborative environment
  • Opportunity to work with a mission-centered organization dedicated to improving lives

Compensatiom & Benefits

  • Competitive per-evaluation or hourly compensation
  • Flexible scheduling
  • Administrative support for scheduling and billing
  • Testing materials provided
  • Opportunity for growth within expanding behavioral health services
  • Part-Time Benefits available

We are seeking a Licensed Psychologist who values precision, integrity, and compassionate service — someone who understands that a well-executed evaluation can open doors to resources, services, and real change.

If you are passionate about psychological assessment and want to practice in an environment where clinical excellence comes first, we would love to connect with you.

Qualifications
  • PhD or PsyD in Clinical Psychology
  • Active, unrestricted license in the state of Illinois
  • Experience administering and interpreting standardized assessment tools (e.g., cognitive, achievement, autism-specific measures, personality inventories)
  • Strong diagnostic skills and report-writing ability
  • Experience working with children and adolescents
  • Ability to work independently and manage testing schedule

Preferred Experience:

  • Autism diagnostic evaluations
  • ADHD evaluations
  • Experience with insurance documentation and medical necessity standards
  • Familiarity with educational accommodations and IEP recommendations
External Job Description
  • Conduct comprehensive psychological evaluations (e.g., autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, mood disorders, learning disorders, intellectual functioning, personality assessments)
  • Administer, score, and interpret standardized assessment tools
  • Conduct clinical interviews and gather collateral information
  • Prepare thorough, timely, and well‑written psychological reports
  • Provide feedback sessions to clients and/or families
  • Collaborate with interdisciplinary providers as needed
  • Maintain accurate documentation in compliance with regulatory and ethical standards
