Prior experience conducting cognitive and psychological assessments is required.

General Description of Training Program

The Psychology Postdoctoral Training Program at Jennifer E. Manfre & Associates (JEM)  was developed for well-qualified pre-licensed trainees in psychology. During this full-time year long commitment, the resident remains dedicated to adhering to professional standards outlined in the training agreement, the corresponding APA ethical standards, and JEM policy.

JEM follows a Developmental Scholar-Practitioner model to foster a holistic training experience that both enhances the growth of the resident as well as benefits the clients they work with. Consistent with the outcome goals of the training program, this model provides framework to assist mental health trainees in expanding their understanding of mental health through "multiple ways of knowing," integrating external and internal methods of learning, focusing on core competencies of psychology, examining the multiple roles of the self as a mental health practitioner, and connecting to the community at large with specific focus on culture and diversity (Peterson et al., 2015). 

Our practice is comprised of clinicians and administrative staff who work together within a collegial, supportive team environment. We prioritize excellent clinical care for our patients, along with work-life balance. Jennifer E. Manfre & Associates (JEM) provides administrative support for marketing and referrals, scheduling appointments, onsite billing, and credentialing.

Within the context of an outpatient, private practice setting, in addition to a well-rounded clinical experience, residents can gain practical skills in business development. This is a unique opportunity for those who may be exploring the possibility of opening their own private practice or overseeing an outpatient facility in the future. Residents will be exposed to core elements of practice management such as client intake procedures, documentation and billing processes, marketing strategies, HIPPA requirements, and administrative workflows. 

The postdoctoral residency at JEM offers opportunity to develop skills in supervision. Residents will learn supervision theory, ethics, and best practices while engaging in supervised experiences with trainees such as practicum students and/or social work interns. Through close mentorship and ongoing feedback, residents are encouraged to reflect on their supervisory style and strengthen their ability to provide thoughtful, developmentally appropriate guidance. These experiences help build confidence and prepare residents for future supervisory and leadership roles.

The overall goal of the training program is to strengthen applied skillsets while supporting residents in the identification of and dedication to their professional development goals. In addition, residents are encouraged to develop deeper self-reflective capacity, refinement of burgeoning professional identity, increased confidence, ability to network and engage in the community, and engagement in internally driven learning.

Residents receive:

·         Weekly individual supervision

·         Didactic, group supervision and case consultation experiences

·         Competitive salary with comprehensive benefits (medical, dental, vision, Professional Development stipend, PTO)

·         Full time administrative & billing support

·         Designated office space

·         Access to games, creative crafts, and other materials needed for therapy

Application deadline: April 10, 2026
Program start date: September 8, 2026
Virtual interviews available

We are seeking applicants who are interested in refining their clinical skills, deepening their professional identity, and preparing for independent practice within a supportive, collaborative training environment.

Developmental Disability Track

Residents applying for the Developmental Disability Track are clinicians who are interested in developing specialized expertise in comprehensive cognitive and diagnostic evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities. This track offers focused experience working with individuals diagnosed with—or seeking diagnostic clarification regarding—conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Intellectual Disability, and Learning Disorders.

Residents have the opportunity to build competency in conducting disability evaluations aligned with statutory, educational, and benefits-based eligibility standards. Training includes a dedicated rotation through the Autism Assessment Clinic, providing in-depth exposure to autism-specific diagnostic evaluation, differential diagnosis, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Applicants are encouraged to bring prior experience with standardized assessment batteries, including Wechsler cognitive measures (e.g., WISC-V, WAIS-IV), academic achievement tests (e.g., WIAT or Woodcock-Johnson), and broad-based personality or emotional functioning measures (e.g., MMPI), as well as experience conducting cognitive and/or psychological assessments.

In addition to comprehensive assessment work, residents expand their clinical skills by providing therapy, parent coaching, and sibling support to families caring for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Structured supervision is provided across both assessment and intervention services, allowing residents to gain meaningful hands-on experience and specialized training in developmental disability and neuropsychological evaluation.

This track is ideal for clinicians seeking advanced, practical training and preparation for independent practice with complex developmental populations.

Assessment/Therapy Ratio: 60/40

Hybrid Assessment and Therapy Track

Residents in the Hybrid Track maintain an active therapy caseload while building advanced competence in completing comprehensive psychological assessment cases efficiently and within established timelines. This track is well suited for clinicians who enjoy both ongoing therapeutic work and in-depth diagnostic evaluation.

Ideal applicants bring experience in diagnostic formulation, clinical writing, and integrating assessment findings into clear, cohesive, and clinically meaningful reports, along with familiarity with standard assessment batteries (e.g., Wechsler scales, WIAT or Woodcock-Johnson, MMPI). Prior experience conducting cognitive and/or neuropsychological assessments is expected.

JEM thoughtfully considers each clinician’s expressed interests, areas of competence, prior training, and professional growth goals when assigning referrals, allowing residents to further develop specialty skills while building a diverse and meaningful caseload. Common presenting concerns within the practice include, but are not limited to:
