Now Hiring: Supervising Psychologist at Pratt Institute (Brooklyn, NY)

If you are a licensed psychologist who has worked in a college counseling center, Pratt Institute has an opening that is worth a close look — and it is the kind of role that rarely comes open.

Pratt is hiring a Supervising Psychologist for the Counseling Center that serves its students in Brooklyn, New York. This is a full-time, on-campus position paying $93,000 to $95,000 annually.

What the role is

A Supervising Psychologist at a counseling center does two jobs at once. You carry a clinical caseload of students, and you supervise the clinicians and emerging mental health professionals who carry the rest. Pratt has said it is particularly interested in licensed psychologists with experience working with college-aged populations and supervising developing clinicians.

That combination — direct care plus supervision, inside a university — is also why the role is hard to fill from a general applicant pool. The field of psychologists who are licensed in New York, past their post-licensure years, and experienced in a campus setting is a small one.

Minimum qualifications

• Doctoral degree in Clinical or Counseling Psychology
• Current New York State psychologist license
• At least three years of post-licensure clinical experience
• At least two years of college or university counseling center experience
• Clinical supervision experience

Why it matters who fills it

College counseling centers are where a lot of students first encounter mental health care, and students often do better with a clinician who understands their background. Representation among licensed psychologists remains thin, so an HBCU-affiliated clinician stepping into a supervising seat shapes not only the students seen directly, but every trainee supervised on the way through.

Other roles open at Pratt right now

Pratt has two more clinical openings on the same Brooklyn campus, both relevant if the Supervising Psychologist role is not quite your fit:

• Supervising Clinician: General — the same supervisory shape, open to a broader clinical licensure
• Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (part time)

If you know a colleague who fits any of these better than you do, forwarding this along is the single most useful thing you can do. Specialized clinical roles get filled through networks far more often than through job boards.
