Position Summary
The Staff Psychologist & Executive Functioning Specialist is a shared staff position serving Washington University School of Medicine students (70% Student Health Services/UME) and BJC/WashU residents and fellows (30% GME). The role provides diagnostic psychological testing, individualized psychotherapy, and executive functioning (EF) support to address mental health, academic, and professional performance challenges.
In-house psychological evaluations are a core focus, establishing diagnostic clarity—differentiating ADHD from depression, anxiety, sleep deprivation, or burnout—to inform treatment planning and support board/academic accommodation requests.
Care is delivered via in-person and telehealth appointments in close collaboration with UME/GME therapists, psychiatrist, and primary care teams. Additionally, the psychologist provides doctoral-level consultation to GME Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs) on complex cases and partners with clinic psychiatry to streamline evaluation workflows, expanding internal psychiatric visit capacity.
The position also contributes to educational programming and group interventions focused on mental health, executive functioning, stress management, and trainee resilience.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship in Clinical Psychologist
Get your credentials evaluated before applying
U.S. employers need confirmation your Australian psychology qualification meets their state licensing board's requirements. A credential evaluation from a NACES-approved body translates your degree into terms that satisfy both the employer and the DOL's specialty occupation standard.
Research state licensing requirements early
Psychology licensure is state-controlled, and some states require supervised hours completed in the U.S. before granting a license. Confirm the licensing path in your target state before accepting any offer, so sponsorship timelines align with when you can actually practice.
Target employers already filing Labor Condition Applications
Hospital systems, university counseling centers, and VA facilities regularly file LCAs for specialty roles. Searching DOL's Office of Foreign Labor Certification disclosure data lets you identify which healthcare employers have recent E-3 or H-1B visa filing history before you apply.
Frame your sponsorship ask around LCA simplicity
Many employers assume any visa sponsorship is as burdensome as H-1B. Clarify that the E-3 LCA is a DOL certification, not a USCIS petition, and carries no lottery risk. That reframe often removes the hesitation that ends sponsorship conversations before they start.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for the paperwork
Once you have an offer, Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service handles the LCA filing with the DOL, prepares your visa application documents, and guides your consulate preparation, so you can focus on the transition rather than the compliance steps.
Align your start date with consulate appointment availability
E-3 visas are issued at Australian consulates, and appointment wait times vary by city and season. Build at least six to eight weeks of buffer between your offer acceptance and your proposed start date to avoid breaching your employment agreement over a scheduling delay.
E-3 Visa Clinical Psychologist: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Clinical Psychologist jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australian professionals searching for U.S. roles that include E-3 sponsorship. Because psychology positions require doctoral-level credentials and state licensure, filtering by specialty occupation and employer filing history saves time. Most general job boards don't surface E-3-specific sponsorship willingness, so a targeted search matters.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does Clinical Psychologist qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes. Clinical psychology requires a minimum of a doctoral degree in psychology, and USCIS treats it as a specialty occupation because the role is so directly tied to that specific field of study. A master's degree alone is unlikely to satisfy the standard, so your doctorate is the credential the employer and DOL will rely on when certifying the LCA.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Clinical Psychologist roles?
The E-3 has no annual cap and no lottery, so you can apply at any point in the year once you have a job offer. The H-1B is subject to an oversubscribed lottery with a March registration window and an October start date at the earliest. For Australian psychologists, the E-3 offers a direct, predictable path that the H-1B cannot match.
Can I work as a Clinical Psychologist on an E-3 before I'm fully licensed in my state?
It depends on the state and the role structure. Some states allow supervised practice under a provisional or associate license while you complete U.S.-specific requirements, and employers can sponsor you for that supervised period. Your offer letter and the LCA should accurately describe the role and supervision arrangement, since misrepresenting your licensure status creates compliance risk for both you and your employer.
