Seeking Licensed Master’s or Doctoral Level Psychologist
Position Description: Kimel Psychological Services (KPS) is growing! Our specialized practice provides a range of services for children, teens, and young adults with developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, ADHD, gifted, twice-exceptional, and mood disorders.

The ideal candidate will be someone who is passionate about psychotherapy (especially using CBT, DBT, family systems, ACT, and related techniques) and eager to work and grow within a supportive group practice. We have a strong referral base and are looking for someone who can join our team immediately upon hire.
