EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY-Full Time

Psychologist, LPC or LCSW: Opportunity with brain biofeedback/License required
Valley Forge, PA

Brain biofeedback (Neurofeedback) uses computer and EEG technology to " tune up the brain." By measuring brain EEG activity, a computer game teaches you to change specific patterns of brain activity. By increasing or decreasing activation levels, through EEG training-- and improving communication between brain regions, the brain can function more efficiently. For example, the frontal lobe or temporal lobe performs better (such as in controlling executive function or emotional regulation). This in turn can help attention, mood, memory, behavior, sleep, and more. This training often has significant impact -- there's increasing published research on its effects on a variety of conditions, from ADHD, to migraines, to OCD, to depression and anxiety. When clients want reduced medications -- or medications are not managing all their symptoms, neurofeedback can be a highly effective tool. 

Clinical Provider Role: Provide full time clinical services that include psychotherapy, parent training and biofeedback. You must learn neurofeedback and other forms of biofeedback well, under the training and support of psychologists who have been doing Neurofeedback for over ten years and provide support to other offices in the Neurofeedback community. Neurofeedback is a fascinating and rewarding field -- but there's a big learning curve. It will take time to get up to speed. Some type of internship will probably be needed to get started. Initially, the position may start on a part time basis, several days per week. The goal - to scale up to full time as rapidly as possible, though it could take up to six months to become versed in all aspects of the office. The learning is ongoing, as we are providing services in a field which is constantly developing.

REQUIREMENTS:

Must be comfortable taking on a major role in helping build and run a center/clinic. We have been in practice over 25 years and have a very large demand for our services. 
Willing to work extra hours while learning a new modality. 
Must be comfortable with technology - we use special computer equipment to measure and train brain activity. 
Must have "Up" energy to help motivate clients and their parents of all ages. 
Must be dedicated to helping challenged clients get better - and helping them figure out how. That includes neurofeedback,as well as knowledge of a range of biofeedback tools. 
Must be extremely motivated in learning more about the brain - and to learn how to change it. 

Must present professionally and warmly to both young parents and the elderly. 
Must interact extremely well with kids and adults of all ages. Some of these will be very difficult and could be experiencing extreme emotional states or behavior.
Must be very good at explaining concepts difficult for people to understand.
High level of maturity, professionalism.
Good skills for In-depth Intake and assessment, and ability to learn a neurophysiological approach to assessment.

-- Experience in working one or more of these conditions:
ADHD. Depression. Anxiety. Bipolar Disorder. Addictions. Autism Spectrum. Migraines. Pain. Brain Injury. Learning Disabilities. Lack of Emotional Control.

After a trial period, you'll move as rapidly as possible into a full time role. Some of your financial package will be based on your ability to help build and grow the office. 

Learn computer based brain biofeedback. Help train clients, keep schedule, educate new clients. There's a lot to learn. We need someone with proven smarts, and who's insightful, intuitive, reliable, organized. We need someone who's people and technology savvy. Help people identify how they've changed.

Experience/education in brain function/neurophysiology is helpful. Knowledge of nutrition helpful (how does food and nutrition affect attention, behavior, mood).

A licensed provider - or one who will be licensed soon is necessary. .

TO REPLY: NO Calls. 
Send a short email to explain why you could be a good fit or why we should talk. Include information about your background in the email or attach a resume or letter as a PDF, not a word/.doc file. Thanks for your interest.
