About Coast Psychology
Coast Psychology is a group private practice in Oyster Bay, New York, specializing in neuropsychological assessment and evidence-based therapy for children, adolescents, and adults. We're a collaborative, clinically rigorous, and compassionate team.
Position Overview
We're seeking a fully licensed, doctoral-level psychologist (PhD or PsyD) with expertise in both neuropsychological assessment and individual therapy. This is a full-time W-2 position with a minimum of 24 dedicated face-to-face clinical hours. Work from home 2 days a week, with flexible scheduling and two required evenings. The schedule is designed to be sustainable, with room for a life outside the office.
The ideal candidate works enthusiastically with children ages 4 and up for both testing and therapy, brings genuine skill in neuropsychological assessment, and wants to be part of a practice that's growing intentionally. This isn't a placement — we're building a team.
This role requires willingness and enthusiasm to work with children ages 4+ for both therapy and testing. Candidates who prefer an adult-only caseload aren't a fit for this position.
This role also isn't a fit for clinicians intending to establish their own independent practice. We're investing in the people who join us, and we're looking for clinicians who want to grow with us long-term.
