Primary job duties will include conducting mental health screenings and diagnostic evaluations, providing consultation services and brief interventions as requested by primary care providers, and providing individual, family, and/or group psychotherapy consistent with the postdoc’s experience and specific interests.  In addition, the postdoc will conduct psychological assessments as requested by the treating team. The postdoc will provide supervision, under the supervision of a licensed psychologist, to graduate practicum students (as available).  There will be various opportunities for teaching, research, and learning about and becoming involved in management and administration as they arise and are consistent with the Fellow’s interests
