What is a psychological assistant?

Psychological Assistants are individuals who have completed graduate-level education in psychology and work under the supervision of a licensed psychologist. They assist in providing psychological services such as administering assessments, conducting therapy sessions, and performing research. Psychological Assistants are typically working towards full licensure and gaining supervised experience required by state licensing boards. Their responsibilities and level of autonomy vary depending on state regulations and the supervising psychologist's practice. This role is essential for training and ensures that clients receive high-quality care under proper supervision.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a psychological assistant?

To thrive as a Psychological Assistant, you generally need a master's or doctoral degree in psychology and relevant supervised clinical experience. Familiarity with psychological testing tools, electronic health records, and diagnostic systems such as the DSM-5 is typically required. Strong interpersonal skills, ethical judgment, and clear communication help you build rapport with clients and support licensed psychologists effectively. These skills ensure accurate assessments, effective treatment planning, and the overall well-being of clients in a professional setting.

What challenges do psychological assistants face when transitioning from academic training to clinical practice?

Psychological Assistants often find the shift from the structured environment of academic training to the fast-paced demands of clinical settings to be challenging. They may encounter diverse client needs, complex diagnoses, and high caseloads, which require strong time management and adaptability. Additionally, learning to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world situations, navigating supervision, and managing administrative tasks such as documentation can be demanding. However, with supportive supervision and ongoing learning, most assistants quickly build confidence and clinical competence.

Clinical Psychology, Assistant or Associate Professor - Department of Psychology, University of Manitoba

As part of a multi-year expansion to our CPA-accredited clinical program, the Department of Psychology, Faculty of Arts at the University of Manitoba invites applications for two full-time Probationary (tenure-track) appointments at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor. The appointment has an anticipated start date of July 1, 2025. Review of applications will begin on October 18, 2024 and will continue until the positions are filled. Salary and rank will be commensurate with experience and qualifications.

Responsibilities

The successful candidate will be expected to develop a productive and internationally recognized research program, obtain external funding, teach primarily graduate-level and some undergraduate-level courses, supervise graduate and undergraduate research, supervise clinical practice, and contribute to service. Alternative delivery modes of teaching (e.g. online instruction) may be available. The standard weighting of responsibilities for full-time equivalent faculty members in the Faculty of Arts is 40% research, 40% teaching, and 20% service. The normal teaching load is 12 credit hours or 4 courses per year (with teaching release for new faculty in the first 2 years, and for faculty who are principal investigators on Tri-Agency grants). Practicum supervision is credited at 1.5 credit hours per supervised student.

Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

The University of Manitoba is committed to the principles of equity, diversity & inclusion and to promoting opportunities in hiring, promotion and tenure (where applicable) for systemically marginalized groups who have been excluded from full participation at the University and the larger community including Indigenous Peoples, women, racialized persons, persons with disabilities and those who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+ (Two Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, questioning, intersex, asexual and other diverse sexual identities). All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given priority.
