Description

The Kansas City Center for Anxiety Treatment (KCCAT) is seeking a licensure-eligible doctoral-level psychologist to join our clinical team, with a preferred start date of September 2026 and a latest desired start of January 2027. This position reflects genuine patient demand: we maintain an active referral base and a growing waitlist, and we have a specific need for a clinician who can serve children, adolescents, and adults with OCD, anxiety, and related conditions.

This is a full-time position based in Overland Park, Kansas, with some hybrid flexibility available. Candidates must be fully and independently licensed in KS by start date. Missouri licensure required within six months of starting, but strongly preferred by start date. Individuals seeking a post-doctoral training position will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

The ideal candidate is clinically curious, independently motivated, and genuinely invested in evidence-based practice. They thrive in a collaborative team environment and bring creative problem-solving to complex and challenging cases.

Responsibilities

• Deliver evidence-based individual and family-based therapy using CBT, ERP, and related behavioral approaches (e.g., ACT) for OCD and anxiety spectrum conditions across the lifespan
  • In addition to carrying an individual caseload, this includes working as part of team-based treatment protocols
  • Integrate individualized intensive outpatient treatment protocols into caseload as clinically indicated
• Conduct diagnostic evaluations focused on anxiety and OCD spectrum clarification as integrated components of treatment
• Participate in weekly team consultation and case staffing

As desired:

• Provide supervision and training to doctoral practicum students and, as applicable, postdoctoral fellows
• Contribute to program development and KCCAT's broader research and training mission consistent with individual interests and expertise

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation is productivity-based, with a structured onboarding period that includes a guaranteed stipend while the clinician builds their caseload. Full-time clinicians at full caseload have significant earning potential within this model. Specific compensation details are discussed with qualified candidates.

Benefits include:

• Health, dental, and vision insurance paid by employer
• Professional liability insurance paid in full
• Simple IRA with employer match
• Annual continuing education allowance
• Relocation assistance available for qualified candidates
• Flexible scheduling within a team-based structure

About KCCAT

KCCAT is Kansas City's first and only psychologist-led, team-based specialty anxiety and OCD treatment center, and one of the region's most established training and research facilities. Founded in 2005 and now directed by Dr. Katie Kriegshauser, PhD, ABPP — one of a small number of board-certified Behavioral and Cognitive Psychologists in the region — KCCAT has built a reputation for clinical rigor, evidence-based specialization, and sustained investment in training and professional development.

Our clinical model is structured outside the constraints of managed care, allowing for individually tailored treatment at the frequency and intensity each patient actually needs — from traditional weekly outpatient to individualized intensive protocols. Our team-based approach involves genuine collaboration: shared staffing of complex cases, close peer consultation, and a culture in which clinical questions are treated as opportunities for collective learning rather than individual problem-solving.

KCCAT maintains an active training program at multiple levels, including doctoral practicum placements and a postdoctoral fellowship. Monthly didactic seminars are open to all clinical staff, and we are committed to supporting career-long professional development and continuing education. Staff with research interests have access to an established clinical dataset and opportunities to pursue scholarship, program evaluation, and collaborative projects. KCCAT has a history of serving as a clinical trial partner site and has received NIMH funding for CBT dissemination.

Location

Overland Park, Kansas (Kansas City metropolitan area). Many of our team members are able to engage partially in work-from-home depending on concentration of televideo sessions on caseload. This is not a fully remote position.
