• Deliver short-term clinical counseling, psychoeducation, and emotional support to patients and caregivers coping with serious illness, illness progression, and end-of-life considerations, within scope of LCSW licensure.
• Serve as a clinical resource to the care team by identifying psychosocial barriers to care, recommending evidence-based interventions, and supporting transitions across care settings.
• Utilize Tuesday Health's electronic systems, tools, and technology to document clinical assessments, interventions, and care plans, supporting coordinated care delivery and quality measurement in a value-based environment.
• Establish and maintain therapeutic, trust-based relationships with patients and families, grounded in clinical listening, empathy, and culturally responsive care.
• Collaborate with the multidisciplinary team to improve quality of life, reduce avoidable utilization, and support holistic outcomes including appropriate and timely hospice transitions for members with serious illness.
• Support the interdisciplinary team through care team debriefings following emotionally charged cases and the facilitation of periodic memorial rounds for the team
