Child Psychotherapist

Overview

For 15+ years our busy fee-for-service practice with offices in North Bethesda has been growing. We are looking for a great child therapist and child psychiatrist to join our team. We really need clinicians who love seeing kids under 10, and it is a major plus if you treat little kids too. We do have teen and adult referrals, but all our child therapists are full, so a child therapist is our main hiring priority right now.

Part or full time is fine. We also have need of a psychiatrist who treats children as well. This is not a 100% telehealth position; telehealth is available, but being on site regularly is important to our patients. Applicants must be licensed in good standing to practice in MD.

Contact information:  or Simone Schwager (please no solicitations; only applicants) s with a letter of interest and your CV.
