Contract Psychologist — Autism Diagnostic Evaluations

About the Role

Mind Rise ABA is expanding access to autism diagnostic services for families across Virginia. We're looking for a licensed psychologist to join our interdisciplinary team on a contract (1099) basis, providing comprehensive autism evaluations for children and adolescents. This is a flexible, high-impact role for a clinician who wants to directly address one of the biggest barriers families face: getting a timely, accurate diagnosis.

This is a remote opportunity, and candidates do not need to live in Virginia.

The Access-to-Care Problem

Across the country — and especially in our region — families routinely wait 6 to 18 months for an autism evaluation. Long waitlists at hospital systems and private practices mean children are referred for therapy services before they ever receive a diagnosis, delaying access to the care they need during a critical developmental window.

This role exists to close that gap: faster access to evaluation means faster access to treatment.

What You'll Do

• Conduct comprehensive autism diagnostic evaluations
• Collaborate with an interdisciplinary team of BCBAs and clinical staff on referrals and case coordination
• Deliver evaluations remotely, with in-person options available at our Fredericksburg or Manassas locations
• Review and integrate assessment results, including ADOS-2 results when completed by trained members of our clinical team
• Provide clear, timely written reports to support families and referring providers
• Help streamline the path from first contact to diagnosis to therapy start

What We're Looking For

• Licensed psychologist (PhD or PsyD) with experience in autism/developmental evaluations
• Familiarity and experience with ADOS-2 administration, scoring, and interpretation
• Comfortable working independently as a 1099 contractor
• Virginia psychologist license or willingness and eligibility to obtain Virginia licensure
• Candidates may be located anywhere in the United States
• Strong communicator who works well within a multidisciplinary care team

Why Join Us

• Flexible schedule — set your own hours and caseload
• Fully remote option
• In-person options at our Fredericksburg and Manassas clinics
• Competitive hourly rate: $100–$130/hr
• Be part of a growing, mission-driven team focused on early access to care
• Autonomy of independent contractor status — no productivity quotas
• Assistance with Virginia licensure for qualified candidates

Please submit your resume/CV and a brief note about your experience with autism diagnostic evaluations and ADOS-2 administration.
