Braver is on a mission to solve the twin crises of access to care and quality of care in the child anxiety epidemic. We believe all anxious kids should get help, help that actually works.

We are looking for Child Behavioral Psychologists to join our team of passionate and dedicated professionals who are working to improve the lives of kids with OCD and Anxiety. Psychologists at Braver provide supervision of and direct clinical services for child and adolescent patients with anxiety disorders at the outpatient level of care. Core responsibilities include:

• Evaluate new patients and develop comprehensive treatment plans.
• Supervise a team of bachelor's-level Mobile Exposure Coaches who deliver a significant portion of the direct patient care in the field. Supervise Coaches in daily group sessions and in individual Coach supervision and mentorship.
• Facilitate and observe group patient therapy sessions.
• Lead and engage in family therapy sessions.
• Review and evaluate Braver Challenges and other content in the Braver mobile app.
• Collaborate with the Braver leadership team and colleagues to continually enhance and evolve our methodologies and technologies as we grow and strive to achieve our mission.

This is a hybrid role. Delivery of virtual treatment and other team collaboration can be conducted remotely from the psychologist’s home. Some work will be required to be conducted onsite in our Norwood, MA office. Given the outpatient nature of this work, and the fact that children and adolescents will be in school during the day, it is necessary to periodically attend and supervise group therapy that takes place in the evening with the day’s start time adjusted accordingly on those days.

Successful Child Behavioral Psychologists at Braver will have the following:

• PhD or PsyD degree from an accredited institution.
• Licensed as a psychologist in Massachusetts and/or Rhode Island (or licensed in another state and willing to become licensed in MA and/or RI).
• Experience treating children and adolescents with anxiety disorders using exposure therapy (preferred, not required).
• Commitment to evidence-based psychotherapy.
• Comfort with learning and using new technologies.
• Desire to work in a collaborative, non-hierarchical team environment.
• Passion for our mission and an ability to be nimble and thrive in a fast-paced start-up atmosphere.

Braver offers competitive compensation as well as a generous benefits package including a 401k plan with company matching and immediate vesting, medical insurance with employer contributions, as well as a robust Paid Time Off (PTO) package. Our hybrid model blends the ability to perform work in the comfort of your home while also coming together regularly for in-person engagement and relationship building with colleagues and patients.

Braver is an open and welcoming place to work, and we value diversity in all its forms. We provide equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment and prohibit discrimination and harassment of any type without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local laws.

Braver is on a mission to solve the twin crises of access to care and quality of care in the child anxiety epidemic. We believe all anxious kids should get help, help that actually works.

We build on a decade of work by co-founders, child psychologist Abbe Garcia, PhD and child psychiatrist Brady Case, MD, getting exposure therapy out of offices and into the real world, where we can see and act on the avoidance behaviors and family interactions that perpetuate anxiety. Our innovative care model enables our team to work alongside kids and families in homes, schools, and wherever anxiety lives. We believe the most effective care for our patients is delivered through a blend of field visits, telehealth sessions, group therapy and family sessions. To ensure maximum reach and impact, our doctors and clinicians are supported by a team of Mobile Exposure Coaches, by the proprietary technology of our Braver mobile app, and by a collaborative and caring work environment.

We believe the most effective care for our patients is delivered through a blend of field visits, telehealth sessions, group therapy and family sessions. To ensure maximum reach and impact, our care is delivered by a team of expert clinicians and bachelors level mobile exposure coaches, supported by Braver’s proprietary technology, in a collaborative and caring multidisciplinary work environment.

Nurse practitioners are an integral part of Braver care delivery, helping kids and families access and benefit from exposure therapy for anxiety and OCD with well selected pharmacotherapies that reduce the intensity of anxiety and address common co-occuring conditions like ADHD, behavioral rigidity in autism, depression, and chronic irritability that can impede treatment and cause problems in school, at home, and with friends.

Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners (NPs) at Braver deliver mental health services in a unique multidisciplinary outpatient program for children, adolescents, young adults, and their parents affected by anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, and related disorders. NPs collaborate with psychologists and their bachelors level exposure coaches to tailor medication selection and optimization in the services of successful conduct of the core evidence based treatment for anxiety, cognitive-behavioral therapy with exposure. NPs are also supervised by Dr. Case. Like all Braver staff, NPs participate in Braver’s startup culture of curiosity, mutual reliance and respect, and continuous change in the service of improving the effectiveness and accessibility of care. NP responsibilities include:

• Diagnostic evaluations of children, adolescents, and adults, typically with a focus on whether and which pharmacological interventions may be useful to improve multimodal treatment of anxiety and related disorders.
• Collaboration with Braver psychologists and coaches, as well as with primary care providers and school personnel to improve continuity of care and support treatment across the varied environments where patients need to function.
• Ongoing treatment of Braver patients in accordance with evidence based guidelines and, when such treatments fail, with rational selection of other treatments that require close monitoring for efficacy and adverse effects.
• Education of patients and families about psychiatric disorders and treatments, including pharmacological, other somatic, and psychosocial interventions.
• Monitor patient progress over time and participate in ongoing critical reevaluation of team conceptualization of patient problems and treatments in interdisciplinary team meetings and case conferences.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date records, including documentation of services provided and communication with other healthcare providers.
• Meet legal and ethical standards regarding patient confidentiality and privacy.

Successful Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners at Braver will have the following:

• Master of Science or Doctorate in Nursing from an accredited institution.
