Assessment Psychologist Job Description

Thinking Tree Psychology is a group practice located in Severna Park, Maryland committed to supporting the mental health and wellness of children, adolescents and young adults. We are seeking an Assessment/Testing Psychologist to join our group of fun, connected, and positive minded clinicians. With peer collaboration opportunities as well as independence to focus on individual interests and goals, this position is ideal for clinicians who both enjoy being a team member & have a desire to pursue their unique, professional style.

The Licensed Psychologist position is an employee opportunity that is expected to conduct 2 to 4 comprehensive batteries per month. Typical referrals are for ADHD, LD, and Autism differential diagnosis, sometimes with co-morbid medical conditions. Immediate caseload provided. The Psychologist is expected to participate in virtual and in-person staff meetings, and monthly case consultation meetings are available and encouraged. Therapy services may also be pursued as part of this position, if the clinician is interested and therapeutic interests are a good fit for our practice.

Testing must occur at our Severna Park office, but telehealth work is available on other clinical days, including intake and feedback sessions. Thinking Tree provides a steady stream of referrals and a full library of testing equipment with automated scoring. The psychologist will benefit from being willing to market themselves to grow their referral base and recognition in the community.
