This appointment is a full-time clinical position in the CWS Program. The position involves participation in an interdisciplinary outpatient team, with clinical responsibilities to provide direct billable clinical work in evaluating and treating patients with CWS and related diagnoses. The CWP Program will provide focused, time-limited consultations using a biopsychosocial approach to better understand and manage CWS. The program aims to improve patients' understanding of their condition and promote independence by helping them implement effective self-management strategies.

Previous experience working with complex populations, running individual/group psychotherapy treatment and using outcome measures is desired. Participation in the education and training of students and staff from social work and other disciplines is expected.

Applicants should have advanced evidence-based psychotherapy training that may include: CBT, ACT, DBT, PRT, and/or EAET consistent with supervised clinical experience using such modality for 6 or more months. Further training may be provided on an as needed basis. Applicants with full licensure and evidence-based trainings will be considered the most qualified. Although this position is primarily clinical, those with appropriate knowledge base and experience will have opportunities for active participation in training and supervision of students and staff from a range of mental health disciplines.

Some skills and training in research are a plus, though not a requirement.

As a member of this team, you will play a vital collaborative role in evaluation, focused care coordination, and providing biopsychosocial evaluations and psychotherapy to patients with CWS. The Department of Social Work strives to foster an environment of respect and belonging; a place where every person feels valued and can thrive.
