About the Health Psychology Program: Clinicians in this program address the interaction between physical, psychological, and social factors in health management. You would provide psychotherapy for the treatment of a wide variety of medical conditions and health-related issues. Some examples include cancer, chronic pain, diabetes, cardiac problems, movement problems; and training for treatment of specific health conditions or treatment modalities (e.g., biofeedback, presurgical psychological evaluations). The majority of your caseload would be traditional individual outpatient therapy, with opportunity to run outpatient groups related to Health Psychology. We encourage applicants who have additional subspecialty interests and training. We also allow for tailoring of your caseload, according to your expertise and competencies.

About working at St. Louis Behavioral Medicine Institute: As a full-time employee of SLBMI, we offer: a centralized intake office that screens and schedules a steady flow of clients for clinicians; an efficient and professionally run billing service; marketing support; assistance in managing managed care, including credentialing, and consultation on practice development; the ability to build a diverse caseload around your different areas of interest and specialization, which could include behavior health conditions that fall outside of your Program focus; schedule flexibility to help achieve your lifestyle preferences, while still maintaining an active patient caseload and participating in your specialty program needs; compensation financial plan based upon percentage of net cash collections, allowing you to have more independence in your practice while earning competitive compensation. Such a model allows for the ability to earn more if you desire to have a larger caseload; a multidisciplinary team 70+ excellent colleagues willing to share their clinical expertise for case consultation, continuing education, and program development; opportunities for clinical presentations/speaking opportunities, consultations, research; opportunities to attend weekly training seminars as well as longer, more formal training seminars that occur several times per year (SLBMI is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists).

SLBMI offers a comprehensive benefits package, including: Competitive compensation Professional liability insurance Medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug plans Paid time off 401(K) with company match and discounted stock plans

Our Onboarding options: Our Onboarding Model is a full-time base salary guarantee (benefits-eligible) transitional plan, typically four months, to allow new providers time to build their caseload. If you believe that your clinical experience is more general in nature and your knowledge base is not as specialized as our programs are structured, you may want to consider speaking with us about our Specialist-in-Training option! Details below.

SPECIALIST-IN-TRAINING MODEL: Our Specialist-in-Training model is a transitional plan of training, typically six months, that is meant for Licensed Providers who need additional training within their program's area of specialization prior to being considered a specialist in that area of practice. Generally, the Specialist-in-Training time consists of: a reduced minimum caseload with weekly supervision; assigned reading; didactic sessions to discuss the readings and receive additional education; increased conceptualization in treatment plans reviewed by your supervisor; attendance of open supervision and discussion of other SLBMI programs that may be part of your training time. Other types of activities may be possible which would enhance your skills as a clinician in general, as well as within your specialty area. For both models, revenue generated by your cases that exceed your base salary guarantee will still be assigned to you, allowing you opportunity to earn greater than your minimum base salary.

Please note that non-licensed providers might be eligible instead for our Postgraduate and Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunities. Please visit our website for information on our training program.

Qualifications Interested applicants must have completed a Master's or doctoral degree in a clinical mental health field (e.g. MSW, Professional Counselor, Ph.D) AND be fully licensed by the State of Missouri to practice independently. All applicants must be credentialed-eligible for managed care panels in Missouri. There is a required 90-day wait period for insurance credentialing to be completed prior to starting.
