Psychologist Cover Letter Example

At Cedarbrook Behavioral Health I carry a caseload of 24 weekly individual therapy clients presenting with anxiety, depression and trauma-related concerns, applying CBT and ACT frameworks. I'm applying for the psychologist opening at [Behavioral health practice name] because I want that same caseload depth at a practice still building its assessment referral base rather than one where testing is an afterthought.

I administer and interpret more than 90 psychological assessment batteries a year, including the WAIS-IV and MMPI-3, for diagnostic clarification and treatment planning referrals, and I co-developed a group therapy protocol for adolescent anxiety that cut our clinic's individual-therapy waitlist by 35% within a year. Across three annual regulatory audits, my documentation has produced zero compliance findings, a record our office manager now uses when new state auditors ask what a clean file looks like.

I hold my Wisconsin psychology license and a certificate in cognitive behavioral therapy, and I supervise four postdoctoral fellows and three doctoral practicum students, all of whom have completed licensure requirements on schedule since I started supervising. I'd rather catch a documentation gap in supervision than have a fellow discover it during their own licensing review.

I'd welcome a conversation about your assessment referral volume and supervision structure at [Behavioral health practice name]. Thank you for your time, and I'm glad to bring my assessment volume and supervision outcomes to a first conversation.
