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.

Job Description

Primary Duties & Responsibilities:

- Recommendations & Accommodations: Formulate treatment plans, EF intervention strategies, academic or board exam accommodation recommendations, and outside referrals when appropriate.

Clinical Psychological Services & Executive Functioning Support:

- Psychotherapy & Intake: Conduct intakes, individual psychotherapy, group counseling, crisis triage, and referrals to expand clinical access and reduce student wait times.

Documentation and Administrative Responsibilities:

- EHR & Compliance Standards: Maintain complete, confidential clinical records and non-clinical administrative documentation in accordance with HIPAA, departmental policies, and ethical guidelines.
- Volume Tracking & Operational Reporting: Track testing volume, clinical activity, and referral patterns to oversee resource allocation and support the joint 70/30 staffing arrangement and departmental reporting needs.

Consultation, Education, and Program Development:

- Doctoral-level Consultation: Provide doctoral-level clinical consultation support to GME Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs) on complex or high-acuity clinical cases.
