The ideal candidate has a strong foundation in trauma and PTSD treatment and understands that effective trauma therapy requires more than discussing symptoms or teaching generic coping skills. We are looking for a clinician who is curious about what drives clients' responses and is motivated to work with attachment patterns, nervous-system activation, traumatic memory, dissociation, identity, grief, and the effects of chronic stress. This position is especially well suited to a clinician who wants to deepen their trauma-treatment skills. Previous EMDR training is welcome but not required. Int Psych is willing to support formal EMDR training for the right candidate. The clinician must, however, be genuinely motivated to learn, able to work independently, and willing to take responsibility for developing and applying new clinical skills. About Our Practice Int Psych is an insurance-based outpatient practice specializing in trauma, attachment, chronic stress, and complex emotional concerns. We serve veterans, military-connected families, first responders, helping professionals, children, adolescents, young adults, and other clients whose needs may not have been adequately addressed through traditional talk therapy alone. Our approach is integrative and primarily bottom-up. Our clinicians may draw from EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal Theory, Brainspotting, somatic approaches, ACT, mindfulness-based therapies, CPT, psychodynamic therapy, and attachment-focused treatment. The Position The Wilmington clinician will provide assessment and ongoing psychotherapy for concerns such as: Post-traumatic stress disorder Complex and developmental trauma Military and combat-related trauma Military sexual trauma Moral injury and service-related grief Traumatic loss Anxiety, depression, and chronic stress Dissociation and emotional dysregulation Attachment and relationship difficulties Childhood and adolescent trauma Family disruption related to deployment, reintegration, relocation, injury, or disability Identity and adjustment concerns among adolescents and young adults Transitions from military to civilian life Caregiver and military-family stress The clinician must be able and willing to provide regular in-person services from our Wilmington office.
