At the State of Minnesota, employees play a critical role in developing policies, providing essential services, and working to improve the well‑being and quality of life for all Minnesotans. The State of Minnesota is committed to equity and inclusion, and invests in employees by providing benefits, support resources, and training and development opportunities.

Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health Hospital (CABHH) in Willmar MN, part of the DHS Direct Care and Treatment division, offers an opportunity for an ambitious child and adolescent clinical psychologist to help lead a specialty team in behavioral health. The State of Minnesota has broken ground on a $7.5+ million investment in a new 16‑bed psychiatric hospital for ages 6‑18 with serious behavioral and emotional conditions.

The new facility will provide exceptional care and treatment in a state‑of‑the‑art environment.

As a child and adolescent clinical psychologist, you will be deeply involved in the care and treatment of patients and help set the direction and priorities for treatment within a program model you advance. You will work with a dedicated team of hospitalists, psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, and rehabilitation therapists, all committed to evidence‑based, integrated, child‑centered treatment.

Psychological services include comprehensive assessment; evidence‑based individual, group, and family treatment; interdisciplinary team collaboration; patient treatment conference leadership; consultation in positive behavioral supports; and risk assessment and management of suicidality and violence.

This role integrates clinical information from direct observations, treatment, testing, evaluation, team and collateral reports, and medical records. Be part of a team that continually strives for excellence in mental health care.
