OPPORTUNITY IN COEUR D'ALENE

Description (122420)
Looking for a Licensed Psychologist to take over a private practice in Coeur d’ Alene. Work is in conjunction with a Psychiatrist and four Master’s Level Counselors, all of whom are independent practitioners. In this position, it is essential that the individual have a strong interest and background in assessment, as many referrals (approximately 30-40 %) are for cognitive ability and /or neuropsychological screening, in addition to “traditional” mental health evaluations. This is a “fly solo” practice where you are responsible for your own billing, scheduling and telephone work. There is a front office staff; however, they are employees of the psychiatrist and cannot be relied upon for assistance other than help with FAXing and processing mail. Office rent and shared office expenses usually run about $ 800.00/mo. It would be important to have a diversified and established battery of assessment tools; however, the current owner of this practice is moving into retirement and would be willing to sell (at a very reasonable cost…) testing supplies currently in use. The office is (approximately) 180 square feet in an older building {1103 West Ironwood Drive} with a large north facing window. The building is handicap accessible on the ground floor in an area that is primarily medical offices. There is a waiting room shared by all practitioners. At this time, the office is being used 3 days/week, so a new person could start out using it two days/week (Monday and Friday), transitioning into full-time occupancy starting in January.

HIRING & TRAINING OPPORTUNITY FOR GROUP PRACTICE

Description (113020)
North End Wellness, a small group practice, is looking to add a new element of healing to the Boise area. I am open to hiring licensed or soon to be licensed therapists that are intelligent and self-motivated. My vision is to hire clinicians who are willing to get trained in Rapid Resolution Therapy.

Since training in RRT, my clinical skills, therapeutic outcomes, and job enjoyment have become substantially better. RRT has been inspiring to me on many levels and I want to help others learn and apply it. I am looking to hire one or more clinicians who resonate with RRT, who would be invested in developing expertise in it, and willing to have RRT be one of the main modalities they use. I will pay for the trainings and will also provide consultation, supervision, and continued training.

I am looking for people who are inspired by modern 21st Century ways healing and growth. North End Wellness pays well, is a healthy work environment and current employees report high job satisfaction. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the position and/or RRT. Payment is made on a 55-45 split (55% to you and 45% to NEW). Most group counseling centers do a 60-40 split with the person being 1099 (independent contractor) where the person pays the 15% employment tax (resulting in 45% of gross income). With NEW, you are considered a W-2 employee which means that NEW pays the 15% tax resulting in 55% of gross income. This is results in 18% more income than you would typically receive with other agencies. For example, if a session grossed $150 you would get $83 dollars as opposed to $68 (or less).

Sept 18th Zoom Workshop:  PARENTAL ALIENATION,
AN INTERRELATED MULTIDIMENSIONAL DIAGNOSIS

Description (113020)
Dr. Michael Bütz has created a new way, a new concept, for identifying and understanding the challenging phenomena of Parental Alienation. In his recent book with Routledge Publishers, Parental Alienation and Factitious Disorder by Proxy Beyond DSM-5: Interrelated Multidimensional Disorders; he has advanced a new diagnostic category to describe complex pathological phenomena by integrating individual characteristics and symptoms, family and other system dynamics under one diagnosis – Interrelated Multidimensional Diagnoses.

The workshop examines why current diagnostic categories within the DSM-5 have proven inadequate and provides the basic framework for this new diagnostic conceptualization. A conceptualization that has been designed to better capture the complexities of Parental Alienation. Expanding on his recent original article with F. Barton Evans, Ph.D. in Professional Psychology: Research and Practice, he provides a more encompassing view for such challenging phenomena. This perspective accounts for the phenomena’s historical descriptions such as Alignment, Parental Alienation Syndrome, and Alienated Children; describes the diagnostic concept of Interrelated Multidimensional Diagnoses; and specifically addresses Parental Alienation in detail. Dr. Bütz will also expound on a new approach to the phenomena, how to identify it, and describe his proposal for a new two-stage diagnostic process.

NOTE: This is an introductory course, and a more advanced workshop is planned in the future. Michael R. Bütz, PhD, is a licensed psychologist in Montana who divides work between forensics at Aspen Practice, P.C. and clinical and neuropsychology at St. Vincent Healthcare. A fellow of the American Psychological Association, he has received several awards from APA’s Provincial and Territorial Psychological Association Affairs Division (31), held leadership in Montana’s association, and worked with IPA in the late ‘90s. Dr. Bütz has published a number of articles in APA’s Professional Psychology: Research and Practice, and was best known for his articles and books on nonlinear dynamics.
