The Shepherd Center in Atlanta, Georgia, is recruiting for a full-time, on-site outpatient Rehabilitation Psychologist with our SHARE (Shaping Hope and Recovery Excellence) Military Initiative. The SHARE Military Initiative began in 2008 to provide interdisciplinary, personalized rehabilitation care for post-9/11 military Veterans and first-responders. Many of our clients experience symptoms of or have a diagnosis of mild to moderate traumatic brain injury or concussions, co-occurring psychological or behavioral health concerns, post-traumatic stress, sleep disturbance, mood issues, substance abuse issues, and/or family concerns. Since SHARE's inception, the program has served more than 300 individuals from all service branches. The program typically treats 10-15 wounded warriors at a time, for typically 8 to 12 weeks, with plans to expand our service capabilities. The psychologist for this position will join a team of 4 other psychologists with specialties in neuropsychology, addiction, and sport and rehabilitation psychology. The Department of Psychology currently has a large, multi-specialty staff with services in brain injury, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, comprehensive rehabilitation, and pain management. Applicants should have proficiency in working with military or veteran populations, mild to moderate traumatic brain injury, concussions, substance misuse, and military trauma issues.

Primary responsibilities for this position include active interdisciplinary team participation, and providing rehabilitative services for veterans, concussion patients, and their families/caregivers, which may include individual, group, and family therapy/interventions, assessments, consultations, and education.

Shepherd Center is a private, not-for-profit, 152-bed expanding facility, specializing in the medical treatment, research, and rehabilitation for people with neurological injuries or illnesses. The Shepherd Center is accredited by the Joint Commission and the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), and ranked by U.S. News & World Report as one of the top 10 best rehabilitation hospitals in the nation. This position includes a comprehensive benefits package including competitive salary, health/dental/vision insurance, CEU opportunities, 403(b) with employer match, paid time off, and more.

Qualifications:

  • PhD or PsyD from an APA/CPA-approved program in Clinical Psychology.
  • APA-accredited internship completion.
  • Successful completion of a 1 or 2-year postdoctoral fellowship/residency, or more than 5 years clinical work experience with similar military patient populations.
