Job Summary:

The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus seeks individuals with a demonstrated commitment to creating an inclusive learning and working environment. We value the ability to engage effectively with students, faculty and staff of diverse backgrounds.

Colorado Springs Department of Psychiatry] has an opening for a Full-time Faculty (unclassified) Open Rank-Child and Adolescent Psychologist position.

The Child and Adolescent Psychologist will provide direct patient care to children, adolescents, and their families at the new Children's Hospital Colorado Telstar location. This includes diagnostic, assessment, treatment, and discharge planning for youth with a variety of mental health concerns including (but not limited to): depression, anxiety, emotional distress and difficulty regulating emotions, self-harm, suicidality, post-traumatic stress, difficulty communicating with others, and other behavioral challenges. The Child and Adolescent Psychologist may have the opportunity to provide services in both the Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and outpatient programming.

The Partial Hospitalization Program provides evaluation and intensive mental health treatment for youth who experience serious mental and behavioral health challenges that prevent them from functioning optimally at school, at home, and in the community. These children and adolescents experience distress that exceeds the capacity of traditional outpatient services but are able to remain safe in a community setting as well as individuals stepping down from higher levels of psychiatric treatment including inpatient hospitalization. Youth attend the program daily from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm for approximately two weeks (dependent on the individual treatment needs of patients and their families). The primary treatment modality is group therapy and the curriculum has been derived from the transdiagnostic approach. Patients also receive individual and family therapy and medication evaluation and management. Another component of the program is family involvement: parents participate in psychoeducation groups as well as daily check ins. The Child and Adolescent Psychologist is a member of the multidisciplinary treatment team and is responsible for providing groups for both patients and family members according to the established curriculum.

The outpatient program provides evaluation and mental health treatment for children and adolescents who experience mental and behavioral health challenges but are able to function and remain safe at home, at school, and in their community. Youth treated in outpatient settings typically attend individual or family therapy once weekly. They may also receive medication evaluation and management from another provider in the clinic such as a Psychiatrist or Advanced Practice Nurse. The Child and Adolescent Psychologist would be responsible for developing and implementing an individualized, family-centered, trauma-informed, evidence-based treatment plan for the patients and families in their care.
