The DBT Psychology Clinic is looking to employ part-time clinicians to work in our comprehensive and adherent DBT outpatient program. As a therapist at the DBT Psychology Clinic you will be a member of a therapeutic community of like-minded clinicians. You will focus on providing therapy within a safe, supportive and deeply caring environment.
The ideal candidate will have a passion for learning, be open to clinical growth and have confidence working with clients who have multiple life challenges. You will be proficient in providing all areas of the standard DBT model: individual therapy, group skills training and phone coaching.
During our weekly meetings we support each other in being the best DBT therapist we can be. It is also a place to learn, share and grow. Keeping up-to-date with DBT research and training opportunities is our philosophy. We love research and monitor the effectiveness of our programs with a range of measures.
We do our best to ensure that working at the DBT Psychology Clinic is a deeply satisfying experience. We have a strong focus on self-care and want you to go home feeling exhilarated rather than exhausted.
Previous experience with DBT is preferred. For those without this background, we will support you through the 16-week online Foundational Training (provided by Behavioral Tech). However, five years of clinical experience is essential.
There are several non-negotiable requirements of the role. These include:
Australian citizenship or permanent residency
registered clinical psychologist/psychologist/mental health accredited social worker/occupational therapist
registered Medicare provider
attending weekly consult team meetings on Thursday afternoons
able to offer some clinical services outside of normal business hours including running an evening skills training group
In addition to being a part of the DBT team there is also an opportunity to develop your own private practice at the same premises.
