Job Description:

Licensed Psychologist - Clinical Psychology Postdoctoral Training Director

We're all about empowering women through psychotherapy!

With an active and growing Clinical Psychology Postdoctoral Residency training program, we are seeking a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in IL for the role of Postdoc Training Director.

The candidate would be a full-time W2 employee at Balanced Awakening in a role that would currently be 20% postdoc training/supervision and 80% psychotherapy services. For the 2021-22 training year, we have 3 residents, so individual supervision and training would be about 5 hours/week and psychotherapy clients would be about 20 hours/week. The plan moving forward is to train 3-5 postdoctoral residents each year, so over time training responsibilities would increase and psychotherapy caseload requirements would decrease. The Postdoc Training Director would work closely with Dr. Yang, especially in the beginning, to collaborate on the implementation of the vision of the practice. Early career psychologists with some supervision experience as well as a strong interest in the role are encouraged to apply.

Psychologists in this role would be required to provide individual supervision in person at our Lakeview/North Center office. It would be ideal if the candidate was also interested in seeing some clients in person at any of our Chicago office locations, as demand for in-person sessions is high. Otherwise, psychotherapy sessions could be conducted virtually from home.

Compensation would be a combination of a stipend based on training responsibilities + a percentage of revenue generated from the clients you see, with no upper limit (no max clients you can see).

The full benefits package includes BCBS PPO health insurance, 401k with generous automatic (nonelective) contribution, long-term disability insurance, and life insurance. Dental, vision, and short-term disability coming very soon in January 2022.

Balanced Awakening believes strongly in creating an environment that incorporates flexibility, work-life balance, and self-care. Our employment contract does not include a non-compete, as we believe this supports our mission to promote professional autonomy and provide the best client care.

Responsibilities:
--- Serve as postdoc training program point person, coordinator, and primary individual supervisor.
--- Maintain a caseload of your ideal psychotherapy clients.
--- Complete notes in our EHR for each client session.
--- Manage your email so that emails are attended to within 48 of your working hours.
--- Participate in an hourly quarterly (4x's year) team meeting and enjoy lunch with the team.
--- Maintain your license by completing necessary CEUs, engaging in ethical behavior, etc.

Qualifications:
--- Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Illinois.
--- A passion for training and supervision of sophisticated doctoral level psychotherapists.
--- A desire to maintain a psychotherapy caseload of your own within the practice.
--- Strong communication and collaboration skills that you're excited to apply at Balanced Awakening.
--- A commitment to have excellent work-life balance and self-care.
