Under the direction of program leadership, this per-diem/part-time therapist provides group and individual therapy for adults up to 20 hours/week in a partial hospital setting. Candidates are expected to be familiar with a wide array of behavioral health issues, and to be comfortable with patients in need of intensive outpatient treatment. Primary tasks involve leading a variety of groups intended to help patients effectively manage acute psychiatric symptoms and prepare for a less-intensive level of care; all required documentation must be completed in a timely manner. Additional tasks may also include intake evaluations, individual psychotherapy, family psychoeducation and support, risk assessment & safety planning, and crisis intervention. The ability to work collaboratively with other therapists on the team, including the program psychiatrist and nurse practitioner is a must.
Other preferred or required qualifications:
1. Prior experience in a community or hospital mental health setting
2. Excellent organizational, time management, and communication skills
3. Basic computer literacy, and experience with electronic medical records
4. Must be a NY State licensed LCSW, LMSW, Ph.D, LMHC, or other NY State licensed behavioral health provider. Candidates with LPs are also encouraged to apply.
