Clinical Psychologist

The Sexual Orientation and Gender Institute of Arizona (SOGIA) is a growing private group practice in Phoenix, AZ.

Due to the increase in telepractice all therapy and group practice staff/consultation meetings are conducted via telepractice.

Subsequently, there is the potential for locations throughout Arizona (e.g., Phoenix, Tucson, Flagstaff, Yuma, etc.) where a provider has access to their own WIFI and HIPAA compliant computer systems.

At SOGIA we specialize in evidence-based therapies (e.g., ACT, CBT, CGT, CPT, DBT, and Trauma Focused-CBT) and are willing to provide appropriate training for those applicants who are interested in increasing their skill sets.

We are currently accepting applications for part-time, Arizona licensed psychologists.
