Clinical Director - Licensed Psychologist

About Us

The Utah Center for Psychological Services is a private practice located in the greater Salt Lake City area. Our mission is to be Salt Lake City’s premier center for high-quality psychological evaluations. We serve diverse clients across the lifespan and provide comprehensive assessments for autism, ADHD, trauma, dissociative disorders, personality structure, dementia, TBI, and learning disorders, among others.

We value and respect autonomy—for both clients and clinicians. Our approach is strengths-based, collaborative, and grounded in compassion and clarity. We are committed to ongoing learning and use a developmental training model to support clinicians, postdocs, and trainees. As a practice, we strive to balance support with independence, offering structure while honoring each clinician's voice, style, and professional identity.

About the Role

We are looking for a Clinical Director who is grounded, thoughtful, collaborative, and able to hold a supportive leadership presence in the practice. This role is designed for a psychologist who genuinely enjoys psychological assessment, cares deeply about thoughtful case conceptualization, and values working in a setting where clinical integrity and human connection matter.

The Clinical Director will carry a primary caseload of psychological evaluations (with the option to include a small therapy caseload if desired). Evaluations are comprehensive and meaningful, not rushed or formulaic. Our reports are integrated, reflective of the whole person, and guide real-life recommendations that help clients feel understood and supported. Evaluation work typically includes intake, testing, scoring, collateral interviews, record review, integrated report writing, and feedback sessions. We aim for evaluation completion within ~30 days in a way that supports both clinical quality and sustainable pacing.

Alongside clinical work, the Clinical Director will provide approximately 5–10 hours/week of leadership support to the team. This portion of the role centers on helping the practice run smoothly—not through micromanagement—but through relational presence, gentle structure, and collaborative problem-solving.

This is a full-time, W-2 position. The schedule is flexible and can be shaped collaboratively to meet both clinician and practice needs. Much of the work (intake, report writing, meetings, documentation) can be done remotely, while testing is conducted in-person at the office. We value balance, and we genuinely encourage clinicians to build lives outside of work. Specifically, 5 hours of administrative time is built into your schedule each week, paid out regardless if those hours are used.

You will be joining a practice that is committed to long-term sustainability for our clients, our clinicians, and our leadership team. We are not interested in burnout or assembly-line productivity. We are interested in good work, done well, in a supportive environment.
