Deer Oaks Behavioral Health — Long-Term Care Clinical Services

Join a mission-driven behavioral health organization that has been a trusted partner to Long-Term Care (LTC) communities for over 30 years. Deer Oaks is a nationally recognized leader in geriatric behavioral health, partnering with thousands of facilities across the country to deliver compassionate, evidence-based care to older adults and individuals with chronic medical conditions.

We are seeking a Licensed Psychologist specializing in psychological testing and assessment to join our integrated clinical team. In this role, you will focus on delivering comprehensive psychological testing services to adults and older adults in long-term care settings, providing objective diagnostic clarity, cognitive evaluation, behavioral insights, and evidence-based recommendations that directly support treatment planning, care decisions, and interdisciplinary collaboration. This position offers professional autonomy, a predictable Monday–Friday schedule, and robust administrative and clinical support so you can focus on what matters most—helping patients thrive.

As a key member of the interdisciplinary team, you will:

• Conduct standardized psychological testing, including cognitive, neuropsychological, emotional, behavioral, and personality assessments.
• Administer, score, and interpret a variety of standardized instruments (e.g., cognitive tests, memory evaluations, executive functioning measures, mood/personality inventories).
• Complete integrated diagnostic reports that synthesize test data, clinical interview findings, behavioral observations, and relevant chart information.
• Provide clear, actionable recommendations to support diagnosis, care planning, behavioral interventions, and facility decision-making.
• Perform assessments related to cognitive capacity, guardianship, decision-making, behavioral risk, and functional impairment, as appropriate.
• Ensure ethical testing practices, test security, and adherence to professional assessment standards.

• Conduct comprehensive psychological evaluations, including diagnostic assessments, mental status exams, and cognitive screenings
• Provide individual psychotherapy tailored to the needs of older adults and individuals with complex medical or cognitive conditions
• Facilitate family therapy and caregiver support sessions
• Lead or co-lead group therapy sessions when appropriate
• Provide behavioral management interventions to support residents, facility staff, and families
• Develop and implement individualized treatment plans based on evidence-based practices
• Manage caseload independently while exercising clinical judgment consistent with ethical and professional standards

• Partner daily with nursing staff, social workers, physicians, and rehabilitation teams
• Participate in interdisciplinary meetings and care plan reviews
• Serve as a behavioral health resource to facility leadership and staff
• Offer consultation to facility teams regarding behavioral strategies, resident needs, and care recommendations

• Complete all documentation in a timely manner using our Geriatric Notes Tool (GNT)
• Maintain accurate, comprehensive clinical records aligned with regulatory requirements
• Adhere to state laws, CMS expectations, HIPAA standards, and APA ethical guidelines

• Foster collaborative and professional relationships with facility personnel
• Model professionalism and empathy while representing Deer Oaks
• Maintain reliability, punctuality, and strong communication to support consistent care delivery

We are deeply committed to supporting our clinicians with the training, tools, benefits, and administrative support they need to thrive both personally and professionally.

• Stable caseloads within close geographic proximity
