Employer Business Type
Profile Summary
The DBT Psychology Clinic is a private outpatient clinic located in Potts Point, Sydney. We offer a 48-week comprehensive Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) treatment program.

This structure is compliant with DBT research.
​
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a program developed for clients who feel out-of-control in managing their emotions, in particular, clients diagnosed with borderline personality disorder/traits. Research has shown DBT to be effective in reducing suicidal behaviour, non-suicidal self-injury, psychiatric hospitalisation, treatment dropout, substance use, anger and depression and improving social and global functioning. DBT is not a suicide prevention program, it is a program designed to help individuals build a life worth living.

The DBT Psychology Clinic is looking to employ part-time clinicians to work in our comprehensive and adherent DBT outpatient program. As a therapist at the DBT Psychology Clinic you will be a member of a therapeutic community of like-minded clinicians. You will focus on providing therapy within a safe, supportive and deeply caring environment.
The ideal candidate will have a passion for learning, be open to clinical growth and have confidence working with clients who have multiple life challenges. You will be proficient in providing all areas of the standard DBT model: individual therapy, group skills training and phone coaching.
During our weekly meetings we support each other in providing the best DBT therapy we can. It is also a place to learn, share and grow.

There are several non-negotiable requirements of the role. These include:
