As a Clinical Psychologist you have the choice of a full spectrum of employment settings ranging from salaried on-site roles to independent practice or 1099 roles, all with unique pros and cons. If you’re looking for a role that carries the stability of a W2 position with benefits, but has the flexibility to not be on-site or available 40 hours per week we may be the right fit. We’re hiring and we’d love to hear from you!
The LodeStone Center is an outpatient group private practice that is a great option for a Clinical Psychologist with family commitments. We also provide a great environment for someone that would like to prioritize work volume but reduce administrative involvement.

Psychologist Jobs in Illinois: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a psychologist in Illinois?
To become a licensed psychologist in Illinois, you must earn a doctoral degree in psychology from an accredited program, complete a supervised internship, and pass the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology. The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation issues the license. Illinois also requires postdoctoral supervised experience before full licensure is granted. Candidates should confirm current hour requirements and application steps directly with that board.
Which companies hire psychologists in Illinois?
Employers hiring psychologists in Illinois right now include LifeStance Health, Pediatric Developmental Services, and Centurion Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Illinois's large integrated health systems, state-run behavioral health facilities, and university medical centers are among the most consistent sources of full-time openings for licensed and pre-licensed psychologists.
Which Illinois cities have the most psychologist jobs?
The cities with the most psychologist openings in Illinois are Chicago, Naperville, and Illinois. Chicago dominates the distribution given its concentration of academic medical centers, large hospital systems, and community mental health organizations, while Springfield and Rockford generate steady demand through state government agencies, regional hospitals, and school districts that serve large surrounding populations.
Are there remote psychologist jobs in Illinois?
Yes, and more than many clinical fields. About 53% of psychologist openings tied to Illinois are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting the growth of telehealth platforms in behavioral health. Assessment, therapy, and consultation work has proven particularly suited to remote delivery, especially in outpatient and private-practice-affiliated settings.
How can I get hired as a psychologist in Illinois with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a predoctoral or postdoctoral residency at an Illinois health system or academic medical center, such as those affiliated with the University of Illinois, Loyola University Medical Center, or the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center in Chicago. These programs are designed for candidates with no independent practice history. Roles titled psychological associate or assessment technician also offer structured entry for those building hours toward full licensure, and holding an Illinois temporary licensure permit while completing supervised hours strengthens your application considerably.
Where can I find and apply to psychologist jobs in Illinois?
You can find and apply to psychologist jobs in Illinois on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers actively hiring across the state. Search the listings to find roles that match your license status, specialty, and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
