Location: Great Neck, NY

Compensation: $140,000–$180,000 Annually

The Bio Behavioral Institute (BBI) is an outpatient mental health clinic specializing in treating OCD and related disorders including BDD, body-focused repetitive disorders, anxiety, mood, trauma, autism spectrum, and other co-morbid conditions. At BBI, we’re more than just a clinic—we’re a movement for change. For over 45 years, we’ve pioneered the treatment of OCD, BDD, and anxiety-related disorders, earning a reputation as a thought leader in the space.

Through cutting-edge research and personalized care, we’ve helped over 4,000 individuals lead richer, more fulfilling lives.

As a Licensed Psychologist, you will provide evidence-based care to individuals with OCD, anxiety, and related disorders. Working closely with a multidisciplinary team, your role will include delivering individual, group, family, and couples therapy, as well as participating in our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). Half your time will involve collaborating with a team of therapists to treat shared IOP patients.

When clinically appropriate, exposure exercises can involve out-of-office and home visits—guiding patients through real-world situations that trigger their symptoms and working through them in real time, which we believe leads to better outcomes.

At BBI we foster a safe, creative environment that encourages innovation to achieve patient outcomes. Beyond patient care, you’ll have the option to contribute to advancing the field by actively engaging in research to push evidence-based treatment forward.
