What are the responsibilities and job description for the Clinical Psychologist - Autism Spectrum Disorder & Anxiety and Mood Disorder Ser position at NYU Langone Health System?
The Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Anxiety and Mood Disorder Services at the Child Study Center (CSC) are seeking a dynamic, collaborative clinical psychologist to join our Manhattan practice in a joint position across both services. The Child Study Center is part of NYU Langone's Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, one of only two independent child and adolescent psychiatry departments within an academic medical center in the nation.
This full-time position is ideal for a psychologist with expertise in autism and co-occurring anxiety, mood, and related disorders across the pediatric age range. The psychologist will provide evidence-based assessment and treatment for children, adolescents, young adults, and their families in individual, parent training, family, and group modalities. The candidate should have strong proficiency in behavioral and cognitive-behavioral therapy, parent management training, and diagnostic evaluation.
The Anxiety and Mood Disorder Service includes specialty programs in Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Adolescents (DBT-A), Tics, Tourette's, and Trichotillomania (T3 program), and intensive treatments for anxiety disorders. Advanced training and/or certification in evidence-based interventions for ASD or related conditions (e.g., Early Start Denver Model, Facing Your Fears, PEERS, RUBI, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, Unstuck and On Target, DBT-A, or other relevant approaches) is preferred. Experience conducting comprehensive evaluations is essential, and proficiency with ASD diagnostic tools such as the ADOS-2 and ADI-R is a plus. Candidates should be interested in contributing to the continued growth of both services through strong clinical care, support of existing programming, and development of innovative treatment offerings.
The ideal candidate will be a highly motivated clinician committed to clinical and academic excellence, with enthusiasm for outpatient practice and comfort treating children, adolescents, and young adults. The role also includes opportunities to lead group therapy and conduct workshops for parents, school personnel, and community providers.
