Responsibilities:

As a School-Based Behavioral Health Therapist with Health Connect America, you'll be embedded in schools to support the emotional, behavioral, and social well-being of children and adolescents — meeting them where they are and walking alongside them across school, home, and community. You'll partner with students, families, educators, and primary care providers to address mental health concerns, build resilience, and help them thrive at school and beyond.

Behavioral health doesn't pause when school lets out — and neither do we. This is a year-round role, so when summer comes, your students still have you.

What You'll Do

• Conduct biopsychosocial assessments and build individualized, person-centered treatment plans with students, families, and school teams
• Provide individual, group, and family therapy in school and outpatient settings, using evidence-based approaches for anxiety, depression, trauma, and behavioral concerns
• Coordinate whole-person care — partnering with PCPs, monitoring medication needs and HEDIS gaps, verifying enrollment, and linking families to community resources
• Act as the key liaison between schools, families, HCA programs (including Med Management), and external providers
• Step in during crises with grounded clinical judgment and thoughtful safety planning
• Maintain clinical documentation that meets state, Medicaid, HIPAA, and COA standards
• Build relationships with schools and community partners to grow program reach and referrals
• Stay sharp through ongoing supervision, training, and professional development

Qualifications:

• Master’s Degree in Social Work, Counseling, Psychology, Marriage and Family Therapy, or related behavioral health field required.
• Must be eligible for licensure as an LPC, LMFT, or LCSW in the state of TN.
• Experience working with children, adolescents, and families preferred.
• Experience providing services in school-based or community-based settings preferred.
