Evaluation Provider

Brightline is redefining what pediatric behavioral health care looks like for families across the country — and we’re looking for a mission-driven provider specializing in Evaluations who will bring that vision to life.

The Evaluation Provider conducts comprehensive psychological evaluations for youth up to age 18, serving as a specialist resource across the region. If you are as passionate about evidence-based mental health care for kids, teens, and families as we are, we’re looking for you.

You’ll collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and help set the clinical standard for evaluation excellence at Brightline. This is a rare opportunity to do high-impact clinical work within an innovative, fast-growing practice that is transforming pediatric mental health care.

• Conduct in-depth diagnostic evaluations, including clinical interviews, multi-informant data review, and differential diagnosis, to clarify presenting concerns and inform evidence-based care for youth up to age 18 (ongoing care provided by other team members)

• Provide clear, evidence-based recommendations for ongoing care in alignment with patient need and Brightline’s program offerings

• Integrate screening and rating measures into comprehensive diagnostic formulations

• Deliver family feedback sessions with actionable, accessible clinical guidance

• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, engage in peer consultation, and participate in continuous professional development

• Contribute to the development and refinement of Brightline’s evaluation and testing service line

• Participate in community engagement and outreach opportunities

• Master’s degree in Psychology or other related field

• Active, unrestricted license to practice at the masters level in the State of New York

• Extensive experience conducting diagnostic evaluations across a variety of presenting concerns for youth and families

• Advanced training in semi-structured diagnostic interviews with ability to adapt to varied clinical contexts

• Strong working knowledge of evidence-based interventions for common pediatric concerns, enabling clear and actionable diagnostic recommendations

• Strong knowledge of current clinical research and commitment to staying updated on the latest empirical advancements

• Clear understanding of and deep commitment to ethical standards of care

• Experience providing care both in-person and virtually (some evaluations and feedback sessions may be conducted virtually depending on clinical appropriateness and family preference)

• Interest and experience thriving in a start-up environment

• Bilingual candidates are strongly preferred, particularly Spanish-speaking

• Ability to maintain up to 30 hours per week for evaluations + feedback

At Brightline, we believe that Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging are essential to the foundation upon which our mission is built. We are committed to:

• building a future where all families can access inclusive, high-quality care
