On the day-to-day, you will:

- Deliver and document behavioral health interventions as agreed upon in participants’ care plans, including but not limited to symptom management, counseling, crisis intervention, arranging necessary resources and services, assisting with care transitions, providing individual and group counseling, and care management
- Facilitate individual and group therapies such as art and music therapy, psychosocial drama, counseling, and discussion that restore or expand participants’ social roles
- Provide training on behavioral health symptoms and interventions to WelbeHealth staff
Job requirements include:
- Master’s degree in behavioral health or doctorate degree in psychology required
- Licensed by state Board of Behavioral Sciences as an LCSW or licensed by the state Board of Psychologists as a Psychologist
