We are seeking a Post-Doc Clinical Psychologist who is interested in our shared vision of keeping psychodynamic theory alive while still meeting the compliance requirements of managed care. At Create Outcomes, we teach our therapists to examine themselves in the countertransference, assess the quality of the therapeutic alliance, and honor that unique background of each human being that sits in front of them.
The Create Model effectively utilizes psychodynamic theory to assess the appropriateness of other evidence-based interventions through a holistic assessment of the client, comprehensive treatment planning, and a systematic approach to tracking progress while using our Life-Work Map to evaluate core competencies of the therapist.
We COLLABORATE to help you overcome ROADBLOCKS by EQUIPPING you while we ACKNOWLEDGE, TRACK and EVALUATE your progress.
Collaborate to ensure that the unique dynamic between the therapist and the client is conducive to personal growth and self-discovery.
Roadblocks are the root cause of the presenting problem preventing the client from reaching their desired outcomes.
Equip with insight and other evidence-based interventions to overcome roadblocks.
Acknowledge when a client utilizes newly acquired skills and insights to reach their goals.
Track the client’s overall growth routinely to determine if the therapist needs to adapt treatment interventions to the unique needs of the client.
Evaluate client progress through collaborative documentation.
Therapeutic Frame: The purpose of having a therapeutic frame is to guide clinicians in their interactions by providing a structure for self-evaluation. The therapeutic frame is meant to help maintain productive relationships. It allows clinicians to recognize and examine when their bias may be present and emphasizes self-awareness.
Individualized Information: Clinicians become aware of what is meaningful to the client in order to create their Life Map. We examine their goals, desires, values and motivation. Individualized information also includes diagnostic considerations in the context of these personal factors.
Protocols, Policies And Procedures: Maintaining awareness of our ethical and legal obligations as licensed clinicians is always an important consideration in therapeutic work. Our organization emphasizes competency in the areas of risk, collaborative documentation, treatment planning and privacy.
Strategies: Once a therapist has examined their therapeutic frame, assessed the individualized information, and considered relevant policies and procedures, the clinician can then choose the most effective therapeutic strategy to meet the unique needs of the client.
Collaboration is an active attempt to establish the therapeutic alliance, which means that you and your therapist have a good working relationship and that you are both in agreement about the purpose and direction of therapy. Collaboration involves an ongoing awareness of the interactions between you and your therapist. This includes awareness of individual cultures and values. Is there a shared, or mutual, understanding of values, goals, and motivations?
The LifeMap is your treatment plan translated from clinical terms to language that better represents the work we do: The Destination is the desired outcome at the end of therapy. This includes personal goals, relational goals, and goals for daily life. Destination Goals are therapeutic goals that help you and your therapist regularly assess whether you are in agreement with the desired outcomes of therapy.
Landmarks indicate the progress being made along the way. Landmarks are therapeutic objectives that help you and your therapist regularly assess whether headed in the right direction and making progress toward your desired outcomes. Roadblocks are the root cause of the presenting problem preventing you from reaching your landmarks and desired outcomes.
We utilize the therapeutic relationship to equip you with insights, actions, feelings, or interpersonal dynamics that help you move closer to your Landmarks and ultimately your desired Destination. For the most part, we equip you to better understand your current thoughts, habits, and behaviors by developing a greater understanding of past learning. Some Cognitive Behavioral strategies, such as relaxation techniques, may be useful to help alleviate symptoms that you desire to change or overcome, however, you will work to understand the origin of these symptoms so if and when these symptoms resurface you will have a better understanding of how to cope with your problems on your own.
Acknowledging your progress along the way helps us know that our therapeutic alliance is successful. Evaluating the success of our work together is using the LifeMap.
At Create Outcomes, you will be part of a team who are navigating the complex world of psychotherapy together. We have a strong focus on your professional growth and development. When you begin your position with us, you will create a Life-Work Map. This map will provide both a short-term and a long-term vision for your desired path as a clinician. Your supervisor/consultant will use your map during weekly individual sessions to ensure that you have the support that is necessary to reach your goals and help your clients reach theirs. Our clinical team brings a breadth of experience and expertise. In our monthly group case consultations, you will have the opportunity to utilize the support of our team.
You will be trained in the C.R.E.A.T.E Outcomes Model which integrates psychodynamic principles and cognitive behavioral interventions. For example, your supervisor/consultant may ask you to examine your own bias and the client’s unique development when making treatment goals. This model includes a collaborative treatment plan that we refer to as the Life Map. Our model provides an approach to assessing, engaging, and treating clients. You can learn more about the Create Outcomes model here. We have the structure and support in place when you are working with clients who are high risk or in crisis.
Our education department offers continuing education credits for clinical trainings that are available to staff and to clinicians outside of the organization. Training costs are waived for those within Create Outcomes.
Administrative and billing tasks are handled by our admin team who are here to support you to ensure you can maintain focus on your clinical work. Once you are full time, you are eligible to receive medical benefits and PTO.
You will be responsible for providing therapy for adults. We require that you attend weekly individual supervision/consultation and that you are motivated to learn. Our group consultations are held on Friday mornings (1-2x per month). We highly value clinicians who aspire to become supervisors and clinical directors at Create Outcomes.
This position begins as a part-time role and will grow into a full-time position. We require that you have some evening hours available to accommodate client schedules. We ask that you offer both in-person and virtual sessions depending on the needs of the client.
