The Anoka Metro Regional Treatment Center (AMRTC) is seeking a dynamic Senior Clinical Psychologist to join our team of providers dedicated to making a difference in the lives of others. Anoka Metro Regional Treatment Center (AMRTC) is a 100-bed modern tertiary care hospital, with four services: Medical/Psychiatric; Neurocognitive/Neurodevelopmental; Complex/Co-occurring (including substance use disorders); and Intense Behavioral Treatment for people with a breadth of diagnostic presentations, primarily SPMI. AMRTC is the hub of a state psychiatric care network including 6 smaller hospitals and a wide range of community-based resources.

The programs supervised at this level will be characterized by: diverse clients, multiple diagnoses/disabilities, and the application of a broad range of psychotherapy techniques.

• Providing consultation to program delivery staff and other professionals regarding the overall treatment of individuals with mental illness and other co-occurring conditions.

• Peer consultation and mentoring with other department psychologists.

• Active involvement and leadership as a team member providing psychological expertise to the treatment planning and implementation process.

• Providing clinical leadership/supervision, education, training and mentoring to staff, treatment teams, psychological trainees, and unlicensed psychologist.

Qualified candidates must be able to demonstrate:

• Clinical experience, particularly with individuals with serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI), and knowledge of evidence-based interventions/therapy modalities to serve this population.

• Skills to administer, score, and interpret psychological tests and to write clear, concise, and informative psychological reports.

• Ability to facilitate small and large groups and offer consultation on these skills to other professional staff, provide effective crisis intervention therapy to groups and to individual clients, and interpret and use psychological terminology and understand psychiatric and psychological reports from other consultants.

• Knowledge of principles related to establishing and maintaining a therapeutic community on treatment units and the ability to effectively develop and utilize strategies to enhance aspects of the therapeutic milieu.

Ability to generate behavioral recommendations/plans informed by biopsychosocial case conceptualizations.

Recent doctoral level graduates are encouraged to apply (see minimum qualification requirements outlined below).
