Nemours Children's Health • Wilmington, DE

6d • Onsite

About The Position

Nemours Children’s Hospital is seeking a psychologist to join our Clinical Child
and Community Psychology team at our main campus and new Kingswood Community
Center clinic, both located in Wilmington, DE.

As part of our vision to create the healthiest generations of children, Nemours
Children’s Health has invested in the redevelopment of the historic Kingswood
Community Center in Wilmington’s Riverside neighborhood. The revitalized
Kingswood Community Center will offer a comprehensive range of services,
including early childhood education, fitness and arts programs, community
outreach, and integrated health care. Nemours will provide a range of
high-quality pediatric services, including primary care, specialty medical care,
and behavioral health to increase
access to care for local families.

Our Clinical Child and Community Psychology services include:

Early Childhood Program: outpatient consultation, assessment and intervention
for early childhood concerns. Services include developmental assessment and
evidence-based intervention (e.g., PCIT).

Youth Mood and Anxiety Program: outpatient clinical services addressing the
full spectrum of mood and anxiety concerns, including suicide prevention.
Services include treatment for youth with depression, anxiety, OCD and
repetitive behavior disorders, eating disorders, and our comprehensive
outpatient DBT program.

We are seeking candidates with training and experience in evidence-based family,
individual, and group interventions addressing the above. We are looking for
candidates with experience in evidence-based models (e.g. Parent Child
Interaction Therapy, exposure-based CBT, DBT, Trauma-Focused CBT), and other
family support interventions, and who also have a deep understanding of systemic
barriers that impact families in receiving these services.

Additionally, this position will have opportunities to serve as preceptors for
externs, residents, and fellows in our Psychology Training Programs and medical
residents on the Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics and Mental Health
rotations. Teaching, training, and mentoring are core values in our division and
these efforts are supported and encouraged. Psychologists are members of the
medical staff at Nemours Children’s Hospital, Delaware and are supported with
applying for an academic appointment through the Sidney Kimmel Medical College
at Thomas Jefferson University.

This role includes many opportunities to participate in program development,
leadership, advocacy, and community outreach. In addition, there will be
opportunities for quality improvement and research initiatives. Our division
collaborates with our research colleagues in the Nemours Center for Healthcare
Delivery Science
