Mass General Brigham•Belmont, MA

About The Position

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 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). 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. 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.
