Mind Matters clinicians experience the benefits of being in private practice, with the support and collegiality of a clinic. Psychologists choose their caseload and set most of their own work hours, but collaborate with each other in an effort to improve their skills and knowledge. Mind Matters provides all testing materials, equipment, supplies, and report writing/administrative support, along with ongoing opportunities for training and consultation.
If you are an early-career psychologist or newer to testing, we mentor you within a private practice setting. If you are an experienced Testing Psychologist, we provide you with a supportive and collegial private practice setting without the administrative burdens of solo practice.
We also offer a full benefits package, including paid sick leave for all employees, health insurance for full-time employees, and a 401(k) with matching for all employees who have been with the company for at least a year.
