Are you a
psychologist looking to make a real impact with an underserved population?

This setting
may surprise you—in the best way.

It’s late
morning.

You’re sitting
across from someone most people have stopped really seeing.

But when you
slow down, listen carefully, and meet them where they are, something shifts.

And then you
realize something important: This work matters more than you were ever told it
could.

Why Skilled
Nursing? Why Now?

Many
psychologists never imagine themselves working in skilled nursing facilities.
Not because they wouldn’t be good at it—but because no one ever explained what it actually looks
like. And yet, the signs are clear it’s a setting where they are much needed:

With adults 65+
projected to reach 20% of the U.S. population by 2030, demand for clinical
psychology and geropsychology in skilled nursing is rapidly increasing. Older
nursing home residents have high rates of mental health and cognitive needs,
creating a critical need for specialized psychological care in the setting.

At Executive
Mental Health (EMH), we focus specifically on this critical and growing
need for quality mental healthcare in the skilled nursing facility setting. For
30 years, EMH has offered clinically practical, human-centered work to
individuals residing in skilled nursing facilities, who often feel invisible.
We serve individuals navigating:

• Serious mental illness
  
• Cognitive decline and neuropsychiatric conditions
  
• Medical complexity and disability
  
• Trauma, grief, identity loss, and profound
  transitions 
  

EMH is looking
for talented clinicians able to support this population for full-time work
in the SNF setting. As a Clinical Psychologist at EMH, you are not
working in isolation. You become part of a multi-disciplinary team,
collaborating with psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, nursing staff, social
services, and facility leadership to stabilize care, reduce suffering, and
improve quality of life in real time.

This is
psychology that:

• Prevents hospitalizations
  
• Reduces behavioral crises
  
• Supports staff under pressure
  
• Restores dignity to residents who feel forgotten
  

What You’ll
Be Doing

Working on
site at partner SNF facilities near you, your work will be meaningful,
varied, and grounded in clinical best practices. You will:

• Assess, diagnose, and treat individuals in skilled
  nursing facilities
  
• Provide psychological services to geriatric,
  disabled, and medically complex populations
  
• Manage an active caseload with support from your
  clinical manager and administrative team
  
• Collaborate closely with facility staff, offering
  consultation, guidance, and in-services
  
• Complete documentation aligned with medical necessity
  and Medicare standards.
  
• Provide care by meeting residents where they reside,
  in skilled nursing facilities.
  

Most
importantly, you won’t be working alone: EMH has built systems around our
clinicians so you can focus on care.

Requirements

Who This
Role Is For

This role is
for psychologists who:

• Hold a PhD or PsyD in Clinical Psychology
  
• Are licensed in California
  
• Are Medicare-eligible (we assist with credentialing
  and paneling)
  
• Value evidence-based practice and clinical
  flexibility
  
• Are comfortable working with complexity and ambiguity
  
• Want autonomy without isolation, and
  support without micromanagement
  

You don’t need to
have prior experience in skilled nursing facilities to apply. What you need is
curiosity, compassion, and the ability to see the person behind the chart.

Benefits

What You’ll
Gain

EMH aims to
serve as a stable, thoughtful partner during your time with the company, and

organization for an average of more than nine years; for neuropsychologists,
and, more than half of the Clinical Psychologists have been part of the
practice for over five years.

We believe that
EMH has created an environment in which clinicians establish meaningful,
longstanding careers, which, in turn, provides a sense of stability for
colleagues, patients, and healthcare partners alike.
