Psychotherapist Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I recently completed a year overseeing intake and diagnostic workups at a busy private practice, which helped me refine how to balance careful assessment with practical treatment planning. In that role I helped coordinate client data across three assessment streams and used standard tools to guide initial care pathways. At [Company Name], I can bring that same focus on clear, evidence-based decisions and a steady, collaborative approach to client care. I want to align my experience with your needs in diagnostic and treatment formulation, including cognitive and psychological assessments, data collection, and developing targeted treatment programs. I’m comfortable administering and interpreting a range of tests, and I understand how to translate findings into concrete treatment options. I value ongoing professional consultation with colleagues to ensure plans stay relevant and ethical. In a recent case, a client presented with anxiety and sleep disruption linked to a recent work change. I led the assessment, corrected a misalignment between symptom history and presenting issues, and developed a 12 week plan combining cognitive therapy techniques with behavioural strategies and psychoeducation for the family. By month three, the client reported significantly improved sleep and a more stable daily routine, and we adjusted goals accordingly together with the team. I’d welcome the chance to discuss how my background fits [Company Name] and how I can contribute to your client outcomes. I’m available for a conversation at your convenience. Kind regards, [Your Name]
