About Virginia Psychology

Virginia Psychology is a growing multidisciplinary outpatient mental health practice dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care across the lifespan. We are a private-pay, out-of-network practice offering patients access to Reimbursify for insurance-reimbursement assistance and CareCredit for flexible payment options.

We are seeking an independently licensed therapist who enjoys working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families to join our collaborative team in Richmond, Virginia.

This is an excellent opportunity for a clinician who wants to provide thoughtful, developmentally informed psychotherapy within a supportive private-practice setting. The therapist will provide individual psychotherapy and, when clinically appropriate, parent consultation and family-based support while collaborating with psychologists, therapists, psychiatric providers, assessment providers, schools, and other healthcare professionals to deliver coordinated, patient-centered care.

Virginia Psychology also provides comprehensive psychological, neuropsychological, and psychoeducational evaluations, including specialized assessment for ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, learning differences, and diagnostic clarification. This multidisciplinary approach allows our therapists to incorporate diagnostic findings and individualized recommendations into treatment planning when clinically appropriate.

We are looking for a clinician who values clinical excellence, professional autonomy, collaboration, and lasting therapeutic relationships. We offer flexible scheduling, a growing referral base, and the opportunity to help shape and expand services for children, adolescents, young adults, and families within a respected outpatient practice.

• Collaborate with assessment psychologists regarding patients with ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, learning differences, and co-occurring mental health concerns when clinically appropriate.
• Incorporate psychological, neuropsychological, and psychoeducational evaluation findings into treatment planning when clinically appropriate.
• Communicate with parents, schools, pediatricians, primary care providers, and other treatment professionals when clinically appropriate and properly authorized.
• Participate in multidisciplinary case consultation and clinical review as appropriate.
