**Position Description**:
**Psychologist: SickKids Healthy Living Clinic (HLC)**

**Position Description**

The SickKids Healthy Living Clinic (formerly known as the SickKids Team Obesity Management Program, STOMP) provides outpatient interdisciplinary assessment and treatment to children, youth and their caregivers for complex concerns related to weight, eating, activity and related medical and psychological comorbidities. The team is comprised of enthusiastic specialists from Psychology, Social Work, Nursing, Endocrinology, Adolescent Medicine, Pediatrics, Nutrition, Exercise, and Physiotherapy.

Mental health providers on the team are integral in the assessment and treatment of complex and often severe health psychology presentations that include emotional eating, hyperphagia (secondary to hypothalamic obesity), binge eating, and adherence issues, as well as related co-morbid psychological issues such as social anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, bullying, school refusal and body image concerns. Additional socioeconomic, genetic, and familial/interpersonal relationship factors have a particularly strong impact on treatment and prognosis. Currently, treatment is primarily cognitive behavioural (CBT), with other approaches (e.g., MI, DBT skills, EFT, and parent management training) integrated as appropriate.
- Providing services in one of the most diverse cities in the country, SickKids psychologists are committed to enhancing health equity, respectful service and inclusion of all populations served by the hospital.

- Provide psychological assessment, diagnosis and treatment to children & adolescents with eating disorders and related mental health difficulties
