Job Information
UTAH BEHAVIOR SERVICES, INC Psychologist in TAYLORSVILLE, Utah
Job description:
Can you turn an evaluation around like nobody's business? One that is reliable,
concise, and written in a way that a parent can understand? Are you humble enough to
know when you don't have all of the answers, but confident enough to add value to the
team by participating, collaborating, and providing helpful insight with other
professionals? If you have answered yes to all these questions and love challenges,
then your time will be well invested by reading forward.
We need a psychologist on our team who will step up to the challenge of putting the
puzzle pieces together to uncover emerging sources of a child's difficulty. Someone
whose priority is bringing clarity for caregivers and treatment team alike to understand
their child and how to help them become the best they can be.
If your main focus is having a full caseload then this position is not for you. This role's
primary responsibilities will include providing psycho-diagnostic evaluations
investigating disorders commonly emerging in children, i.e. ADHD, ASD, RAD, DMDD,
for Utah's premier, integrated behavioral health care team, Utah Behavior Services.
P.S. A small caseload is available if that's what fills your bucket- if not, no sweat!
What Winning Looks Like:
Producing a thorough, well-written, detailed report with descriptive diagnostic
formulation, that you would be proud of sharing (with peers, in court, on the
news, or with the APA ethics board).
Turning a high-quality report around within 14 days.
Contributing to the success and quality of the entire continuum of services,
especially through continued growth and development of all Clinicians.
Writing a report that paints a clear picture of the whole child's bio psycho-social
considerations, not just checking the DSM boxes. (We know there's not real
checkboxes)
Adding valuable contributions, insights, and ethical oversight, as a member of our
peer review team.
Troubleshooting the hell out of the most intense behaviors with the team to keep
kids in their least restrictive environment.
Providing evaluations in which you are asked if the child is on the Autism
Spectrum, among other diagnoses.
