    PhD / PsyD jobs in Utah: common questions

    Do you need a license to work as a PhD / PsyD in Utah?
    CMHC, LCSW and LMFT are licensed by DOPL. Confirm the current position with the Utah board before you accept a start date, as processing time is the usual cause of a delayed start.
    What is the average PhD / PsyD salary in Utah?
    Federal wage data for Utah puts the median for clinical and counseling psychologists at $99,170 a year, with the middle of the market between $48,070 and $156,000 and about 1,020 people employed in the state (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025). Advertised pay on the PhD / PsyD roles we recruit nationally sits at roughly $92k – $145k, and offers land inside that band according to setting, caseload and metro cost of living.
    Does PhD / PsyD pay in Utah differ from the rest of the US?
    We publish advertised pay on the roles we recruit, not a Utah average. Across the US those PhD / PsyD roles are advertised at roughly $92k – $145k, and where a Utah offer lands inside that band is driven by setting, caseload and metro cost of living. For an official comparison, Utah median pay for clinical and counseling psychologists is $99,170; treat that as a negotiating floor.
    Where are the PhD / PsyD jobs in Utah?
    Concentrated market with a large residential treatment sector. The live PhD / PsyD vacancies we hold in Utah are listed on this page; when nothing is open there today, the national PhD / PsyD board carries every role we currently hold.
    Who employs PhD / PsyDs in Utah?
    The employers hiring this credential are autism diagnostic clinics, hospitals, school districts, private group practice, academic medical centers. Which of those dominates in Utah follows the local funding and provider mix rather than any national pattern, and it is the single biggest driver of what an offer looks like: the same PhD / PsyD is priced differently by a center-based provider, a school district and a hospital system.
    What do employers look for when hiring a PhD / PsyD in Utah?
    First, the credential and the right to practise: state licensure as a psychologist; doctoral degree. CMHC, LCSW and LMFT are licensed by DOPL. After that, hiring managers screen on the specifics of the work — caseload size you have carried, the settings you have worked in, supervision responsibility, and documentation or payer experience. Availability matters too: a realistic start date that accounts for board processing usually beats a stronger resume that cannot start.
    What does the salary range on this page actually mean?
    Two different things, kept separate on purpose. $92k – $145k is what PhD / PsyD roles we recruit are advertised at across the US — a live market signal, not a survey. The federal figures are official Utah estimates for clinical and counseling psychologists: $99,170 median, with $48,070 at the 10th percentile and $156,000 at the 90th. They cover the whole occupation in the state, are published annually and lag the market by roughly a year, so read the median as a negotiating floor rather than a target. Neither number is an offer; where you land inside a range is set by setting, caseload and metro cost of living.
