This is not a traditional therapy role. There is no ongoing treatment, no insurance billing, and no long-term patient management. The work is focused, objective, and evaluation-driven. You will perform professional assessments, analyze behavioral risk factors, and produce clear, defensible written reports that support legal decision-making. What You’ll Do
- Conduct structured behavioral and psychological evaluations (60–75 minutes per client)
- Assess risk factors, impulse control, behavioral stability, and overall suitability
- Review client history and supporting documentation
- Prepare concise, high-quality written reports for legal use
- Collaborate with attorneys to ensure evaluations align with case strategy
- Maintain consistent, objective, and professional documentation standards
What This Role Is (and Is Not) This role IS:
- Evaluation-focused
- Structured and efficient
- Legally relevant and outcome-driven
- Predictable in schedule and workload
This role IS NOT:
- Therapy or counseling
- Crisis management
- Insurance-based practice
- Open-ended clinical work
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Licensed Psychologist (PhD/PsyD) or Psychiatrist (MD/DO) in [State]
- Experience with assessments, forensic work, or report writing preferred
- Strong ability to form objective, defensible professional opinions
- Clear, concise writing skills
- Comfortable working in a structured, performance-oriented environment
- Efficient and able to maintain consistent throughput without sacrificing quality
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive base salary ($120K–$180K depending on experience)
- Performance-based incentives (total compensation can exceed $200K+)
- No insurance billing or administrative overhead
- Dedicated administrative support
- Predictable schedule (no nights, no weekends required)
- Professional autonomy within a structured system
Why This Role Stands Out
- High-impact work directly influencing legal outcomes
- No therapy burnout or long-term caseload management
- Streamlined workflow with administrative support
- Opportunity to operate at the intersection of psychology and law
- Clear expectations and measurable performance
