Licensed Clinical Psychologist Positions Available at Madison Park Psychological Services in New York City

The Practice at Madison Park Psychological Services:

MPPS is a thriving group practice that provides high quality of care to high functioning patients who present with a wide range of issues such as anxiety, depression, adjustment, trauma and relationship issues. We offer a unique opportunity for clinicians to work in a private practice setting while receiving tailored supervision and training in Western and Eastern therapeutic approaches.

MPPS offers a family-like, collegial, and intellectually stimulating environment where clinicians and patients can grow. Our team is very diverse, as our clinicians come from various cultural backgrounds and specialize in different modalities of therapy. Our goal is to ensure that our patients receive the best treatments and that our clinicians get the best training to provide high quality of care in a supportive and culturally rich environment.

MPPS specializes in tailoring treatment to the patients’ needs and personality.  We believe that the success of any therapy stems not only from tailoring the treatment approach to the patient but also from matching the patient and the therapist’s personalities. We are therefore looking for clinicians with diverse cultural and clinical backgrounds, who are insightful, warm, and flexible to tailor their treatments to their patients.

Clinical opportunities:

Clinicians will conduct individual therapy, and if desired, couple, family, and group therapy with adults and adolescents.  Clinicians will effectively use and integrate various therapeutic modalities of treatment (psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, ACT, EFT) to achieve the best therapeutic results. MPPS also offers a combined psychotherapy/psychological assessment track for those with experience with psychological testing.

Clinicians will receive mentorship from Dr. Saad and/or Dr. Khadivi and attend a weekly team meeting. Mentorship is tailored to the clinicians’ needs with the goal of refining their therapeutic style and interventions. Our approach focuses on our clinicians’ strengths and helps them become well-rounded clinicians.   Dr. Saad and Dr. Khadivi are the two main mentors. They are both thought after nationally and internationally by patients for their therapeutic and assessment skills, and by students for supervision and teaching. Dr. Saad has been named top psychologist in New York each year for the past six years. Dr. Khadivi has been the recipient of multiple teaching awards. He has more than 25 years of clinical and supervisory experience.

In addition to expanding on one’s own therapeutic skills, candidates will learn how to run a private practice- that is, manage fees and money, billing logs, help patients address health insurance issues, and learn other administrative skills needed in private practice.

Finally, a unique component of the position at MPPS is the integration of eastern philosophy to treatment conceptualization. Clinicians will also learn about integrative medicine and eastern approaches to well-being and learn how to integrate them to treatment. Dr. Saad will introduce you to principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and will show you how they can inform your diagnostic and therapeutic approach to treatment so that patients can achieve deeper and faster therapeutic progress. You will also experience the power of Qigong (energy movements for self-care). Eastern medicine is a unique and major contribution to the well-being of patients and clinicians in this group practice.

Benefits:

The benefits package at Madison Park Psychological Services is outstanding. Our mission is to have all our clinicians live a balanced life and that is only possible with good benefits and flexible, enjoyable work schedules. For your peace of mind, all positions are salary-based and not fee for service. Salaries are competitive and are determined based on your years of experience. We also offer health insurance at no cost to you with nationwide coverage and offer you $2500 to pay for eligible healthcare expenses (such as therapy). Other major benefits include dental and vision health benefits, 4 weeks of paid vacation, sick days, 401k with matching contributions from the practice so that you can start saving for retirement.

Your schedule will reflect quality of life: our psychologists choose between a morning to mid-day, mid-day to evening, or weekend work days so that you have plenty of time for self-care and hobbies while accommodating patients who want to be seen in a private practice setting. All available positions are tailored to the applicants’ needs.

Working Accommodations for COVID-19:

For the safety of clinicians, patients, and staff, MPPS is providing psychotherapy virtually. We ask our interns to be flexible and be comfortable with both virtual and in-person therapy as we adapt to a hybrid model for psychotherapy when conditions permit.
