Staff psychologists often work as part of a multidisciplinary team, collaborating closely with physicians, nurses, social workers, and other mental health professionals. This collaboration ensures comprehensive care for patients, as psychologists contribute their expertise in assessment, diagnosis, and therapy while coordinating with others on treatment planning and patient progress. Regular case conferences, team meetings, and joint treatment sessions are common, fostering open communication and integrated care. This teamwork not only benefits patients but also allows staff psychologists to continuously learn and share perspectives with colleagues from different disciplines.

Staff Psychologists may work with a wide range of mental health issues, and they often collaborate with other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive care for their clients.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a staff psychologist, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Staff Psychologist, you need a doctoral degree in psychology, a state license, and a strong foundation in psychological assessment, diagnosis, and evidence-based therapeutic interventions. Familiarity with electronic health record (EHR) systems, psychological testing tools, and ongoing continuing education or certifications is typically required. Exceptional interpersonal skills, cultural competence, and the ability to maintain professional boundaries help psychologists build trust and effectively support diverse clients. These skills and qualities are critical for providing high-quality mental health care, ensuring ethical practice, and fostering positive outcomes for individuals and organizations.

Job Summary
Trauma Continuum of Care - Partial Hospital and Outpatient Treatment
Staff Psychologist Position at McLean Hospital
Full Time
McLean Hospital, America's top-ranked psychiatric hospital, is inviting applications for a staff psychologist with roles providing both partial hospital and outpatient care.
The Trauma Continuum of Care
Who We Serve
McLean Hospital's Trauma Continuum Partial Hospital and Outpatient Program offers psychiatric and psychological services for adults (18 years of age or older) who have histories of trauma, and are diagnosed with a trauma-related disorder, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and/or dissociative disorders, including Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).
Partial Hospital Services
The focus of partial hospital treatment includes establishing stability through the acquisition and application of grounding techniques, education, and connection with others who share lived experience. Treatment is informed by evidence-based therapies and interventions designed for treating PTSD and related problems. The group-based treatment program is designed for individuals who need more structure and intensive treatment than can be received from outpatient treatment alone. Additionally, the program serves as an adjunct to individual therapy or as a support during transition from inpatient hospitalization to one's home environment.
Outpatient Services
Our Outpatient Program offers adjunctive, time-limited, evidence-based, individual and group psychotherapy as well as medication management services. Outpatient services focus on processing and improving trauma-related thoughts, feelings, and behaviors as well as reconnecting with important relationships and resuming meaningful activities. A prerequisite for trauma-focused treatment at the outpatient level is the ability to maintain safety and stability and the effective use of grounding and self-regulation skills.
The Staff Psychologist position will combine clinical care and teaching and supervision of students and trainees.
Qualifications
Qualifications
Ph.D. in clinical psychology from an accredited university or school of psychology. Current licensure (or license eligible) in Massachusetts. Completion of an APA-accredited internship. Postdoctoral training and/or experience in the assessment and treatment of trauma and dissociative disorders. Expertise in evidence-based trauma treatments across both stages of trauma recovery. Experience providing individual and group psychotherapy to adults with complex trauma presentations.
Salary and recruitment package in accordance with Hospital policies, and a Harvard Medical School appointment will be contingent on meeting the HMS requirements and candidate qualifications including Massachusetts license and being board certified/board eligible.
Applicants should submit a letter of interest and curriculum vitae along with the names and addresses of three references to the Search Committee Chair by email:
Patricia Mangones, CNP Program Director, McLean Hospital, 115 Mill Street, Belmont, MA 02478 [email: pmangones@mgb.org and the Registrar and Professional Staff Office at rpsomclean@partners.org]
All McLean team members are expected to consistently demonstrate our values of integrity, compassion, respect, diversity, teamwork, excellence and innovation in their work activities and interactions.
