Licensed Clinical Psychologist

We are seeking a dedicated and highly qualified Licensed Clinical Psychologist to join our world class Navy Medicine team. This is an excellent opportunity to work in a collaborative, patient-centered environment where your expertise will make a meaningful impact.

Position Overview:

This is a full-time, in-person active-duty position (not remote or telemedicine) offering career-defining benefits and the opportunity to make a lasting impact while serving those who serve.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Doctoral degree (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) in Clinical or Counseling Psychology from a program accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA) or the Psychological Clinical Science Accreditation System (PCSAS)

• Completion of an APA-accredited doctoral internship

– Waivers may be considered for candidates who have completed an APA-accredited postdoctoral residency or fellowship, or who hold board certification from the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP)

• Current, active licensure in a U.S. state, territory, or district

Incentives & Compensation Highlights:

• Sign-on Bonus Options:

– $42,500 for a 3-year service obligation

– $65,000 for a 4-year service obligation

• Board Certification Pay:

– $8,000 annual rate, prorated monthly

– Up to $45,000 retention bonus YEARLY following first contract

What does “board certification pay” mean?

In the Navy, board certification pay is an additional financial incentive awarded to psychologists who achieve and maintain board certification (e.g., through ABPP). The $8,000 is calculated as a yearly rate but paid out in monthly installments (approximately $666/month). “Prorated monthly” means you receive this pay only for the months you are actively board certified and eligible—so if your certification starts or ends mid-year, your payment is adjusted accordingly.

Roles & Responsibilities:

As a Clinical Psychologist and Officer in America’s Navy, you will provide clinical care to service members and their families. You will encounter a wide array of clinical conditions, including those unique to the military environment.

• Conducting therapy and providing clinical care to service members in deployed settings

• Conducting seminars to help service members, including senior leadership, maintain positive mental health

• Participating in military training exercises that enhance the ability to reach service members in diverse environments

• Presenting at professional conferences

Duty Locations (may include, but are not limited to):

• San Diego, CA
