What are the responsibilities and job description for the Clinical Neuropsychologist / Assessment Psychologist position at The Counseling Center?
The Counseling Center is seeking an experienced licensed Clinical Psychologist with demonstrated competency in independently conducting neuropsychological evaluations to help develop and expand a comprehensive outpatient assessment program.
