PSYCHOLOGIST

Joy Center is an American based pediatric/adult clinic that works with military families servicing in the U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force bases in Vicenza, Gricignano, and Aviano, and at remote bases throughout Italy. We are currently seeking to hire a psychologist to work at one of our Italian
locations. Some travel between locations may be required. This is an excellent opportunity for a psychologist seeking to learn more or build upon their sensory integration experience and the desire to be trained in the DIR Model. In addition, the psychologist will be mentored by premier American
DIR pediatric Occupational Therapist, Dr. Amy Zier!

To be successful at this job, a psychologist must take initiative and be a self-starter. The psychologist will have the ability to create their own schedule. It is expected that the psychologist will exercise innovative approaches to address various developmental challenges. In addition, it is extremely
important that the psychologist is able to establish and maintain relationships with multiple military families. The clinical space has plenty of supplies and good equipment to conduct individualized sessions for clients. Clinical work includes therapy sessions, parent meetings, family interaction, school observations, correspondence with teachers, documentation, evaluations, and school observation report write ups. The client profiles that a psychologist may come across include sensory, motor, emotional, and relationship needs.
