Job description

Announcing a Post-Doctoral Psychology Resident position in a flourishing private practice. Applicants are required to have completed a doctoral degree in psychology and have completed the intern year.

This is a child, adolescent, and family focused postdoctoral position. The resident will be expected to offer psychotherapy to children and adolescents, behavioral consultations to parents, and conduct psychological evaluations for children and young adults.

Located in The Woodlands, Texas area, Connections Child and Family Center is a flourishing, group practice of fun, collaborative, and like-minded clinicians with a passion for child and family work. Connections’ vision is about “helping families connect, communicate, and relate.” We want to create a work environment where people are fulfilled seeing the clients they want to see, make a good living doing so, feel supported by colleagues, and have fun!

Strong foundational assessment skills are a must. We provide the opportunity to create unique offerings (e.g., groups, workshops). There is also the opportunity to be trained in DBT, as we have a comprehensive DBT program for complex teens and families.

The fellowship emphasizes the developmental and family contexts of child psychopathology and the use of empirically validated interventions. Postdoctoral students gain experience in diagnosis, assessment, and case conceptualization of children with a wide range of behavioral, neurodevelopmental, and psychological difficulties.

Assessment evaluations include diagnostic (ADHD, autism, mood, etc.), psychoeducational, and developmental. We evaluate beginning in infancy and up through young adults. There will be specific training in early childhood and autism spectrum evaluations/treatment. The resident will also have opportunity to receive training in administering the Autism Diagnostic Observation Scale (ADOS).

Training and education in all aspects of practice development, marketing, and insurance will be included. Postdoctoral fellows also obtain opportunities to gain skills in formal and informal presentations, as well as marketing presentations.

Over the course of the one year training experience, the curriculum is graduated and progressive such that fellows advance from exposure to the development of expertise to prepare them for independent practice. It is focused on strengthening assessment and diagnostic skills. Supervision and training also seek to support the fellow in gaining a clear professional identity and confidence as a psychologist.

Dr. Pasqua has been in private practice for 11 years and has nearly 20 years of experience in child, family, and pediatric assessment and treatment in outpatient and hospital settings. She also has extensive post-doctoral training in early childhood mental health and autism spectrum disorders. The practice also employs several other skilled psychologists with a background in child and family work, school psychology, and evidence based treatments.

Minimum requirements include completion of an accredited Ph.D. or Psy.D. program in a professional psychology area, completion of a full time accredited psychology internship, and ability to be employed in the US. Interested applicants must possess clinical experience in psycho-diagnostic assessment, prior experience in child or pediatric psychology, and be interested in specializing in Clinical Child Psychology.

The fellow will attend weekly supervision and clinical meetings to continue their professional development in accordance with state licensure requirements. Also, effective September 1, 2016 the Texas Licensing Board requires post-doctoral fellows to make application to the board and be approved as a trainee prior to beginning employment as a fellow.
