Psychologists and Post Docs
Olympic Psychology Services (OPS) is actively hiring for clinical positions. We welcome both fully licensed psychologists and postdoctoral residents working toward licensure.
About Us
OPS is a doctoral-level group psychology practice in downtown Tacoma. We are a local, Puget Sound area behavioral health clinic - not a huge, impersonal venture backed company. We have been partnering with patients, families, and neighbors here for 20 years. Our culture is warm, welcoming, and community-oriented. Optional social events are a regular part of how we connect, along with a few different weekly (optional) peer consultation groups. You will be joining a genuinely supportive group of people who care about each other as much as they care about their work. Our team of about 15 clinicians spans general adult therapy; child, adolescent, and family work; couples therapy; health and behavioral medicine; adult neuropsychology; and identity-affirming care for LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and other historically underrepresented clients. We believe in listening, compassion, and evidence-based treatment approaches, and we see our clients face-to-face or telehealth available when it's the right fit.
What you would do:
-
• Provide outpatient psychotherapy to a caseload of roughly [20–25] client hours per week, with significant latitude to shape your specialty mix and preferred populations.
-
• Optionally conduct psychological evaluations (we have a robust assessment practice, about half of the current team does testing in some capacity, including ADHD, autism, learning, neuropsychological, and pre-surgical/pre-employment evaluations).
-
Use evidence-based treatments matched to the presenting concern (e.g., CBT, ACT, EMDR, behavioral medicine, emotion-focused, psychodynamic). We are not a single-modality shop, clinicians practice their own speciality.
-
Maintain timely, accurate clinical documentation in our EHR. • Participate (optionally) in weekly peer consultation groups and OPS social events.
-
Coordinate care with primary care, psychiatry, schools, and other providers where clinically relevant.
Who we're looking for:
-
Doctoral degree (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) in Clinical or Counseling Psychology from an APA-accredited program.
-
Completed APA-accredited internship. • Either: (a) fully licensed as a Psychologist in Washington (or license-eligible and able to obtain WA licensure), or (b) a postdoctoral resident accruing supervised hours toward Washington psychologist licensure.
-
Strong clinical skills in evidence-based treatment of common presenting concerns (anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and others).
-
Commitment to ethical practice, cultural humility, and ongoing professional development
-
The ability to get along well with existing staff, must be able to work with a wide population.
-
Someone who has passion for what they do.
Especially welcome:
-
Specialty training or experience in trauma/PTSD, OCD, eating disorders, ADHD/neurodevelopmental assessment, neuropsychology, health psychology, couples therapy, or child & adolescent work - these areas align with current team strengths and demand.
-
Experience with identity-affirming care - LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, gender-diverse, or other historically underrepresented clients.
-
Bilingual or multilingual clinicians are strongly encouraged to apply.
-
We are especially looking for clinicians with child and adolescent experience.
What we offer:
-
Compensation on a revenue split
-
Pre-licensure supervision provided by a licensed psychologist for postdoctoral residents at no cost
-
Furnished office in our downtown Tacoma suite (steps from the waterfront), with in-house scheduling, intake matching, credentialing, and billing so you can focus on clinical work.
-
Optional weekly peer consultation groups and a collegial, growth-oriented team culture.
-
Sustainable caseload, we do not push clinicians toward burnout.
-
We are clinician owned and operated, with a belief that the best way to help our community is to get out of the way and let clinicians do their best, by removing as many non-clinical tasks as possible and letting them focus.
