Clinical Psychologist Fullerton

Overview

Are you a Clinical Psychologist looking to make an impact?

This setting may surprise you, in the best way.

Many psychologists never imagine themselves working in skilled nursing facilities. Not because they wouldn’t be good at it, but because no one ever explained what it actually looks like. And yet, the signs are clear it’s a setting where they are much needed:

With adults 65+ projected to reach 20% of the U.S. population by 2030, demand for psychologists in skilled nursing is growing. Older nursing home residents have high rates of mental health and cognitive needs, creating a critical need for specialized psychological care in the setting.

At Executive Mental Health (EMH), we focus specifically on quality mental healthcare in the skilled nursing facility setting. For 30 years, EMH has offered high-impact, , human-centered work to residents who are often overlooked by the mental health system. We serve individuals navigating:

• Cognitive decline and neuropsychiatric conditions
• Medical complexity and disability
• Trauma, grief, identity loss, and profound transitions
• End of life issues

As a Clinical Psychologist at EMH

• Prevents hospitalizations
