Why Skilled Nursing? Why Now?
Many psychologists never imagine themselves working in skilled nursing facilities. Not because they wouldn’t be good at it, but because no one ever explained what it actually looks like. And yet, the signs are clear it’s a setting where they are much needed:
With adults 65+ projected to reach 20% of the U.S. population by 2030, demand for psychologists in skilled nursing is growing. Older nursing home residents have high rates of mental health and cognitive needs, creating a critical need for specialized psychological care in the setting.
At Executive Mental Health (EMH), we focus specifically on quality mental healthcare in the skilled nursing facility setting. For 30 years, EMH has offered high-impact, , human-centered work to residents who are often overlooked by the mental health system. We serve individuals navigating:
• Serious mental illness
• Cognitive decline and neuropsychiatric conditions
• Medical complexity and disability
• Trauma, grief, identity loss, and profound transitions
• End of life issues
The Role: Psychology Where It Counts
As a Clinical Psychologist at EMH, you will not be isolated in an office all day. You become part of a milieu within the skilled nursing facilities in which you would work.
This is psychology that:
• Prevents hospitalizations
• Reduces behavioral crises
• Supports staff under pressure
• Restores dignity to residents who feel forgotten
What You’ll Be Doing
Your work will be meaningful, varied, and grounded in clinical excellence. You will:
• Assess, diagnose, and treat residents in skilled nursing facilities
• Provide psychological services to geriatric, disabled, and medically complex populations
• Manage an active caseload with support from your clinical manager and administrative team
• Collaborate closely with facility staff, offering consultation, guidance, and in-services
• Complete documentation aligned with medical necessity and Medicare standards
It’s clinical practice without worrying about fee splitting, overhead costs, or stressing about billing and dealing with insurance companies.
Most importantly, you won’t be working alone: EMH has built systems around our clinicians so you can focus on care.
