Clinical Psychologist -- Los Angeles

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 psychologists in skilled nursing
is growing. 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  quality mental healthcare in the skilled
nursing facility setting. For 30 years, EMH has offered high-impact, ,
human-centered work to residents who are often overlooked by the mental
health system. We serve individuals navigating:

·       Serious mental illness

·       Cognitive decline and neuropsychiatric conditions

·       Medical complexity and disability

·       Trauma, grief, identity loss, and profound transitions

·       End of life issues

The Role:
Psychology Where It Counts

As a Clinical Psychologist at
EMH, you will not be isolated in an office all day. You become part of a
milieu within the skilled nursing facilities in which you would work.

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

Your work will be meaningful,
varied, and grounded in clinical excellence. You will:

·       Assess, diagnose, and treat residents 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

It’s clinical practice without
worrying about fee splitting, overhead costs, or stressing about billing and
dealing with insurance companies. Most importantly, you won’t be
working alone: EMH has built systems around our clinicians so you can focus on
care.
