General Purpose: This Licensed Master’s Level Clinician (LCSW, LPC, LMFT) provides clinical mental health services to patients in our highly integrated primary care setting. Behavioral Health Providers (BHPs) work collaboratively with primary care and dental providers to reduce barriers to mental health care. Much of the day is spent providing brief screenings, assessments, psycho-education and brief therapeutic services in the medical exam room or an in-clinic consultation room. BHPs carry a small caseload of patients for therapy services. BHPs may also work in collaboration with internal and external psychiatric providers to enhance the care of patients taking medication. This position is entirely clinical in nature and responsibility.

Essential Duties/Position Responsibilities:

• Deliver brief clinical interventions to STRIDE’s patient population in an integrated primary care setting, including screening/assessment for behavioral health disorders, substance use concerns, stress, and/or behavioral challenges with medical regimen, and providing brief therapy services when indicated.
• Provide sensitive mental health and substance use treatment to individuals and families from different backgrounds.
• Contribute as a member of multidisciplinary teams (comprised of medical, dental, care coordination, health education and other BHPs) in delivering behavioral health services to STRIDE’s patients.
• Collaborate in implementing and developing innovative service line approaches.
• Interact positively and build rapport with patients, coworkers, and community partners.
