Position

Which position are you applying for?

As a Qualified Mental Health Professional (QMHP) you deliver community-based mental health services to the children, adults and families on your caseload — skills training, rehabilitative services, crisis support and service coordination. You work under the supervision of a Licensed Practitioner of the Healing Arts (LPHA), and you spend most of your week out in the community: homes, schools, clinics and wherever else the people we serve live their lives. This is hands-on work for someone who is organized, steady in a crisis, and keeps their documentation current.

What you'll do

Provide rehabilitative skills training and psychosocial services in home, school and community settings
Complete assessments and gather the information each person's treatment plan is built on
Write and update person-centered treatment plans with measurable goals, under LPHA supervision
Document every service the day it is delivered, meeting timeliness and content standards
Track authorizations and service utilization so each person receives the care they are authorized for
Respond to crisis situations and follow safety, de-escalation and reporting protocols
Coordinate care with LPHAs, physicians, schools, courts, caregivers and community partners
Maintain the weekly caseload and direct service hours expected for the role
Take part in supervision, staffings, audits and required trainings
Protect client confidentiality and follow HIPAA and agency policy at all times

What you'll need

Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university with a major in a human services field (psychology, social work, counseling, sociology, human services, rehabilitation, child development, gerontology, criminal justice, education or a related field), OR a bachelor's degree in any field with at least 24 semester hours in a human services field
Meets the state definition of a Qualified Mental Health Professional – Community Services (QMHP-CS)
Valid driver's license, reliable transportation and current auto insurance
Able to pass a criminal background check and all required registry checks
Comfortable working in an electronic health record and documenting the same day
Strong written communication and time management

Nice to have

One or more years providing direct behavioral health services
Experience with children and adolescents as well as adults
Crisis intervention or de-escalation certification (CPI, SAMA or similar)
Familiarity with uniform assessment, authorization and utilization review processes
Bilingual (Spanish/English)

As a Licensed Practitioner of the Healing Arts (LPHA) you are the clinical lead for the people on your caseload. You complete diagnostic assessments, determine level of care, build and approve person-centered treatment plans, provide counseling, and supervise the QMHPs delivering day-to-day services. You also own the clinical quality, documentation and utilization standards for your caseload — reviewing the numbers, and adjusting the plan when the data says the current one isn't working. We are looking for a licensed clinician who leads well and finishes what they start.

What you'll do

Complete diagnostic and uniform assessments and determine the clinical level of care
Develop, approve and review person-centered treatment plans within required timeframes
Provide individual, family and group counseling
Supervise and co-sign the clinical work of assigned QMHPs, including treatment plans and progress notes
Review service utilization for each person and adjust the plan when it is not working
Complete client reviews and re-authorizations by their due dates
Respond to crisis situations and complete risk assessments and safety planning
Coordinate care with physicians, schools, courts, caregivers and community partners
Document services the day they are delivered and keep records audit-ready
Take part in supervision, staffings, audits and required trainings

What you'll need

Master's degree in social work, counseling, psychology, marriage and family therapy or a related clinical field
Current, unrestricted license in good standing (LPC, LPC-A, LCSW, LMSW, LMFT, LMFT-A, licensed psychologist, or an advanced practice registered nurse with a psychiatric specialty) that meets the state definition of a Licensed Practitioner of the Healing Arts (LPHA)
Valid driver's license, reliable transportation and current auto insurance
Able to pass a criminal background check and all required registry checks
Comfortable working in an electronic health record and documenting the same day
Sound clinical judgment and the ability to carry a caseload independently

Nice to have

Two or more years of clinical experience in community behavioral health
Experience supervising QMHPs or providing clinical supervision toward licensure
Approved clinical supervisor status (LPC-S, LCSW-S)
Familiarity with uniform assessment, authorization and utilization review processes
Experience with children and adolescents as well as adults
Bilingual (Spanish/English)
