• Participate in training and supervision to expand diagnostic skill set.

Psychotherapy / Clinical Care Responsibilities

• Conduct biopsychosocial and diagnostic assessments for new therapy clients.
• Develop, implement, and adjust individualized treatment plans based on patient progress and clinical judgment.
• Build and maintain strong, trusting therapeutic relationships with patients and families.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary providers (e.g., Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners, Executive Function Coaches, Speech Therapists) to create and maintain integrated treatment plans.
• Conduct ongoing assessment of patient progress and maintain timely, accurate clinical documentation.
• Involve and advise family members, caregivers, and outside providers as clinically appropriate.
• Meet minimum weekly clinical service expectations following onboarding and role acclimation.
