Mar 14, 2025
McLean Hospital is seeking to fill a full-time clinical position with the Trauma Continuum of Care, a Harvard Medical School affiliate. The Social Worker in this role will conduct psychodiagnostic assessment for admission to both partial hospital and outpatient levels of care. Duties will also include provision of individual and group psychotherapy at both levels of care, coverage for case management, and administrative tasks required for partial hospital admission. The ideal candidate will have training and experience assessing for and treating trauma-related disorders including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) using evidence based assessments and interventions.

The Trauma Continuum of Care

Who We Serve

McLean Hospital's Trauma Continuum Partial Hospital and Outpatient Program offers psychiatric and psychological services for adults (18 years of age or older) who have histories of trauma, and are diagnosed with a trauma-related disorder, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and/or dissociative disorders, including Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).

Partial Hospital Services

The focus of partial hospital treatment includes establishing stability through the acquisition and application of grounding techniques, education, and connection with others who share lived experience. Treatment is informed by evidence-based therapies and interventions designed for treating PTSD, Dissociative Identity Disorder and other trauma-related problems. The group-based treatment program is designed for individuals who need more structure and intensive treatment than can be received from outpatient treatment alone. Additionally, the program serves as an adjunct to individual therapy or as a support during transition from inpatient hospitalization to one's home environment.

Outpatient Services

Our Outpatient Program offers adjunctive, time-limited, evidence-based, individual and group psychotherapy as well as medication management services. Outpatient services focus on processing and improving trauma-related thoughts, feelings, and behaviors as well as reconnecting with important relationships and resuming meaningful activities. A prerequisite for trauma-focused treatment at the outpatient level is the ability to maintain safety and stability and the effective use of grounding and self-regulation skills.
