Zen Health is hiring an Indiana-licensed clinical psychologist to provide assessments and psychotherapy to residents in long-term care communities.
Whether you’re looking for a full-time position or additional clinical work alongside your existing practice, we’d welcome a conversation.
Compensation:
Clinical-hour credit: Your weekly clinical requirement is based on CPT credits, rather than minute-for-minute session time. For example, an appropriately billed 90832 session with 16 minutes of face-to-face care earns 30 minutes of clinical credit. This allows you to meet your clinical requirement in fewer direct-care hours, leaving time in your workday for documentation and coordination.
Full-time:
- $95,000 annual base salary for 30 clinical hours per week.
- $67 per additional clinical hour above the weekly requirement.
- Potential annual earnings of approximately $130,000 at 40 clinical hours per week, assuming that volume is maintained for 50 weeks.
Part-time:
- Compensation arrangements discussed based on your availability and role.
- Scheduling coordinated around your availability and facility needs.
What you’ll do
- Conduct diagnostic assessments and develop treatment plans.
- Provide individual psychotherapy.
- Support residents experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, adjustment difficulties, and other mental health concerns.

- Complete timely, accurate documentation in our electronic health record system.
Services are provided in person at assigned facilities. We’ll discuss available locations and your preferred schedule during the interview process.

Tips for Your Health Psychologist Job Search
Tailor your CV to clinical or research emphasis
Health psychologist roles split sharply between clinical service delivery and research or academic work. Customize your CV for each type, leading with patient contact hours and licensure for clinical posts, or publications and grant activity for research and faculty positions.
Highlight integrated care experience specifically
Many employers are building embedded behavioral health teams inside primary care clinics. If you've worked in an integrated care model, name it explicitly in your resume's summary and experience sections, since hiring managers scan for that phrase and the workflow it implies.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists health psychologist openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Verify licensure portability before applying out of state
Licensure requirements vary by state, and some postings require an active license in that state before your start date. Check whether your current license transfers or whether you'd need to complete additional supervised hours before you apply to roles in a new state.
Prepare a case conceptualization for panel interviews
Clinical health psychology interviews often include a live case presentation or a written scenario involving a patient managing a chronic condition. Practice presenting your behavioral assessment approach, intervention rationale, and collaboration plan with the medical team concisely and without jargon.
Negotiate protected research or consultation time
If a job description bundles clinical hours with research or education duties, clarify the actual allocation before you accept an offer. Protected non-clinical time is often negotiable, and locking it in writing at the offer stage is far easier than revisiting it after you start.
Health Psychologist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most health psychologists?
The companies hiring the most health psychologists right now include US Department of Veterans Affairs, US Military Treatment Facilities under DHA, and Pro Med HealthCare Services, with the largest share of openings in California, Florida, and Minnesota, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Academic medical centers and VA health systems consistently represent a large portion of active postings.
How many health psychologist jobs are remote?
About 31% of health psychologist openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with telehealth-based roles in behavioral medicine consultation and health coaching representing the highest concentration of fully remote positions. Roles requiring direct patient contact or integration with a medical team are almost always on-site or hybrid.
How do you become a health psychologist?
You earn a doctoral degree in clinical or health psychology from an APA-accredited program, complete a year-long APA-accredited internship, and then finish a postdoctoral fellowship focused on health psychology applications. After fellowship you apply for state licensure. Board certification in clinical health psychology through ABPP is an optional but increasingly valued credential for senior clinical and academic positions.
How do you get hired as a health psychologist with little experience?
Postdoctoral fellowships are the standard entry point, and many are funded positions that count as employment. If you're still in graduate training, pursue practicum placements in medical settings like oncology, rehabilitation, or primary care, since that direct patient contact is what distinguishes you when applying for fellowships and your first staff role.
What does the health psychologist interview process look like?
Most processes begin with a phone screen by HR or a department manager, followed by a panel interview with psychologists, physicians, and sometimes administrators. Clinical candidates are often asked to present a case conceptualization or describe their approach to a chronic illness scenario. Academic or research-focused roles typically add a job talk and separate meetings with potential collaborators before an offer is extended.
Where can I find and apply to health psychologist jobs?
You can find and apply to health psychologist jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your clinical focus, research background, and licensure status, then apply directly to each one that fits your experience.
