What are the responsibilities and job description for the Pain Psychologist position at Cleveland Clinic?
The Center for Comprehensive Pain Recovery (CCPR) within Neurological Institute at Cleveland Clinic is currently recruiting a Clinical Health Psychologist with a specialized focus in pain psychology. Clinical practice encompasses the evaluation and treatment of patients with persistent pain conditions, as part of an interdisciplinary care model. Ideal candidates will be proficient in cognitive-behavioral therapy for pain, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness based approach to pain and stress management and group psychotherapy. Candidates with experience in trauma focused therapy are also highly valued and may be considered even without specific pain based training or background.

The CCPR includes an innovative population health program to manage low back pain, an intensive pain rehabilitation program, and additional outpatient services including medication and behavioral management strategies for pain. The center is supported by a robust team of chronic pain trained specialists including pain physicians, psychiatry, pain psychologists, counselors and advanced practice nurses in pain and psychiatry, who all work very closely with physical and occupational therapists.
Applicants must have completed a doctoral degree from an APA- or CPA-accredited psychology program, completed an internship with experience in clinical health psychology and a post-doctoral fellowship. Eligibility for licensure in Ohio is essential.
