EMPLOYMENT STATUS : W2, FULL-TIME / Hybrid

WHAT WE DO : The Bio Behavioral Institute (BBI) is an outpatient Mental Health clinic; we specialize in treating OCD, BDD, and other complex disorders. At BBI, we’re more than just a clinic; we’re a movement for change. For over 45 years, we’ve pioneered the treatment of OCD, BDD, and anxiety-related disorders, earning a reputation as a thought leader in the space. Through cutting-edge research and personalized care, we’ve helped over 4,000 individuals lead richer, more fulfilling lives.

We’re not just here to reduce symptoms; we’re here to change lives. Our approach is grounded in evidence-based treatment, where every member of our team plays a part in transforming lives—one patient at a time.

WHAT YOU’LL DO : As a Licensed Psychologist, you will provide evidence-based care to individuals with OCD, anxiety, and related disorders.
