Expand Your Assessment Practice Without the Administrative Burden
Help Therapy is actively recruiting California-licensed Psychologists (PsyD / PhD) to perform psychological testing and diagnostic assessments as Independent Providers.
While we offer a wide variety of medical, legal, and clinical evaluations, our highest patient demand is for Pre-Surgical Psychological Clearances (e.g., bariatric and surgical evaluations). Prior experience with pre-surgical clearances is preferred, but not required—we provide clinical protocols and evaluation templates to help qualified providers integrate these assessments into their workflow seamlessly.
Whether you are looking to build a full-time assessment practice or supplement your existing work, we provide the platform, full EHR software, group infrastructure, clinical resources, and steady stream of evaluation referrals you need to thrive across California.
Diverse Evaluation & Assessment Scope
In addition to pre-surgical clearances, you will have access to inbound client volume across multiple clinical assessment types:
- Pre-Surgical Clearances (Primary Demand / Clinical Templates & Resources Available)
- ADHD Testing & Evaluations
- Dementia & Cognitive Assessments
- Capacity & Competency Exams
- Work Fitness & Fitness-for-Duty Evaluations
- Personality Testing & Comprehensive Diagnostics
