Job Description Provide integrated psychological services across inpatient and outpatient settings within multidisciplinary heart, liver, and kidney transplant teams, supporting patients throughout the transplant continuum. Conduct comprehensive psychological evaluations for transplant candidates and living donors, utilizing evidence-based assessment tools to evaluate mental health status, cognitive ability, readiness for surgery, and psychosocial risk factors. Deliver bedside psychotherapy to critically ill patients in the hospital, both pre- and post-transplant, addressing acute psychological distress, adjustment to medical trauma, and complex emotional responses to life-threatening illness. Develop individualized treatment plans that incorporate social determinants of health and target modifiable psychosocial risk factors to enhance surgical outcomes and long-term recovery. Provide outpatient psychotherapy for individuals managing chronic organ disease, transplant-related challenges, and co-occurring substance use disorders, employing evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI). Facilitate psychoeducational and therapeutic groups focused on stress reduction, wellness promotion, relapse prevention, and the development of adaptive coping strategies for chronic illness and recovery. Collaborate closely with transplant surgeons, hepatologists, cardiologists, nephrologists, addiction specialists, social workers, and allied health professionals to ensure coordinated, patient-centered care and advocate for the integration of psychological services into transplant protocols. As appropriate, supervise and mentor graduate-level psychology trainees—including externs, interns, and postdoctoral fellows—providing clinical oversight, ethical guidance, and research mentorship to support professional development and scholarly engagement. Partner with multidisciplinary transplant providers in the development and implementation of clinical research initiatives aimed at improving psychosocial assessment, treatment engagement, adherence, and overall outcomes among transplant candidates and recipients.
