All Postdoc positions at Portland Mental Health & Wellness are full-time, 13-month positions, starting in August and ending the end of the following August. Under the supervision of the Director of Clinical Training, postdocs will provide comprehensive services necessary for the promotion of optimal mental health, prevention and treatment of psychiatric disorders, and ongoing health maintenance services. Postdocs may be asked to provide therapy and assessment services to individuals, families, and groups of all ages, and to work in collaboration with others involved in the health of the patient(s).

Clinicians at PMHW generally practice from relational and process-oriented models and focus on the whole person in the context in which they live. Staff psychologists practice from gestalt, psychodynamic, and other person-focused and process-oriented frameworks. Therefore, supervision utilizes a therapeutic model in an effort to both support and challenge our trainees to attend to both their patients and their own process. Strong attention is paid to navigating ethical and legal matters, and sharpening your sense of how you wish to work as a professional to maintain a fulfilling career. We place an emphasis on professional development, holding central the goal of preparing postdocs for licensure and beyond. Additionally, we encourage postdocs to stay on at our practice post-licensure.

Postdocs will provide a variety of treatment services, including the following:

• Individual, group, and couples/relationship therapy
• Psychological assessments (including Gender Affirming Surgery Assessment)
• Care coordination with our psychiatric team and other clinicians
• IOP clinical assessment & group therapy (IOP position only)
