Clinical Neuropsychologist

The Center for Connection, founded and led by Dr. Tina Payne Bryson, is hiring a pediatric or lifespan clinical neuropsychologist to join our flagship Pasadena office. Dr. Bryson, co-author (with Dr. Dan Siegel) of The Whole-Brain Child and No-Drama Discipline, has helped bring the principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) to a wide audience of parents and professionals alike. The Center for Connection is built on this framework, offering clinicians the opportunity to practice within a relational, neurobiologically informed model, with ongoing opportunities for consultation, training, and collaboration with Dr.

Bryson.

Join our multidisciplinary, collaborative team of independent professionals that represent a unique model in direct response to the needs expressed by families. You will provide comprehensive neuropsychological care to early childhood and school-age clients (specifically ages 3-18), with the option to see adults as well. Our group’s unique model develops integrated treatment plans, uniting multiple professionals under one roof. By collecting highly skilled professionals in various fields (including neuropsychology, mental health, speech and language, occupational therapy, and educational therapy) and offering them all in one location, we greatly improve the overall quality of care of each client, while significantly reducing the stress and anxiety on the individual and family.

This integrated approach allows clinicians to develop thoughtful, holistic interventions that prioritize connection, regulation, participation, and each child's unique developmental profile.

As a clinical neuropsychologist on the team, you will join a group that currently has two neuropsychologists and is looking to add one more. You will provide expert care to a diverse population of pediatric and young adult clients. You will support children and families within a holistic care framework, provide parent/caregiver consultation, and collaborate closely with other professionals and educational teams involved in each child's care.

This is a full-time position, though flexible hours, setting your own schedule, and part-time options are available.

• Attendance at weekly strategy/training/case management meetings on Mondays (from 12:30 pm to 1:45 pm). Part of what makes this practice so special is our interdisciplinary approach. Each member of the team brings with them their own areas of expertise (educational therapists, neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, occupational therapists, speech and language pathologists, psychotherapists, etc.), and together they participate in weekly meetings to lend multiple lenses of expertise to cases, support, and learn from one another, including ongoing case consultation and collaboration with experienced professionals, including Dr.
