The Mount Sinai Health System seeks Clinical Psychologist for its Center for Stress, Resilience and Personal Growth!

Center for Stress, Resilience and Personal Growth (CSRPG), a highly dynamic and innovative clinical service within the Department of Psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, is seeking a New York State licensed clinical psychologist (PhD/PsyD) to join the program as a faculty member. CSRPG takes a multi-disciplinary approach to address the needs of Mount Sinais healthcare workers, their adult dependents, and the broader community. A primary goal of CSRPG is to help our workers recover from their mental health concerns and even become more resilient, thereby helping to ensure the future of our health care system. We also specialize in supporting members of the community in recovering from acute stressors, depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder, with an emphasis on building long-term resilience. As part of this work, the Center offers its own mental health treatment services to better serve the diverse population of Mount Sinai employees and their families. CSRPG also offers resilience training, confidential consultations, and a resilience-building resource app.

The psychologist will work closely with other faculty members of the program and our team of licensed clinical social workers to deliver psychotherapeutic treatments within an outpatient faculty practice model, which integrates principles of measurement-based care. There would also be opportunities to facilitate resilience training workshops, conduct on-site resilience-building huddles, and to assist with clinical research projects.

The remainder of the 37.5-hour work week will include attending meetings and supervisions, case management, documentation, and liaising with primary care practices to support employee referrals. Responsibilities and distribution of effort may change based on the Centers needs.
