Work alongside a practice owner who is a co-author of a nationally recognized book on child development and emotional well-being . This is a unique opportunity to learn from and collaborate with an experienced thought leader whose work has helped shape how clinicians understand children, relationships, and the developing brain.

You'll have access to meaningful mentorship, case consultation, team discussions, and interdisciplinary learning while growing your clinical approach alongside experts in the field.

Role Overview

Join a collaborative pediatric practice as a Pediatric Neuropsychologist focused primarily on comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations for children and adolescents ages 3–18.

This role is ideal for a clinician who enjoys assessment but also values understanding the whole child and family system . Evaluations consider cognitive and academic functioning alongside family dynamics, relationships, sensory needs, educational environments, and emotional well-being.

The practice takes an interdisciplinary approach, collaborating closely with speech, occupational therapy, mental health, educational therapy, and other providers.

What Makes This Role Stand Out

• Pediatric-focused assessment: Evaluate children and adolescents with presentations including ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other learning disorders.
• Relational approach: Look beyond test scores to understand family systems, attachment, peer relationships, sensory differences, and the child's broader environment.
• True interdisciplinary collaboration: Work alongside neuropsychology, speech, OT, mental health, educational therapy, and other specialists.
• Clinical flexibility: Assessment is the primary focus, with opportunities to incorporate therapy, parent coaching, school consultation, and follow-up care.
• Strong clinical support: Collaborate with the assessment division director and other neuropsychologists through case consultation, team meetings, trainings, and ongoing support.
• Meaningful recommendations: Create individualized plans that connect assessment findings to practical educational, family, therapeutic, and clinical recommendations.
• Flexible schedule: Clinicians generally work approximately 9:30/10:00 AM–4:30/5:00 PM. Weekend work is optional if a candidate desires.

Responsibilities

• Conduct comprehensive pediatric neuropsychological evaluations.
• Write detailed evaluation reports.
• Provide diagnostic impressions and recommendations.
• Consult with parents, teachers, schools, therapists, and outside specialists.
• Coordinate recommendations with in-house treatment providers when appropriate.
• Participate in occasional school meetings, parent coaching, follow-up visits, or therapy based on clinical interest.
• Collaborate with an interdisciplinary team to ensure assessment findings translate into meaningful treatment and educational support.

Preferred:

Why Join?
