Position Overview\n

The United Behavioral Health Center is actively seeking a dedicated and compassionate Telehealth Licensed Mental Health Counselor to join our remote team. This full-time position offers the opportunity to provide high-quality therapeutic services to individuals navigating their mental health challenges from the comfort of their own homes. As a licensed professional in this role, you will ensure that clients receive personalized care aimed at enhancing their emotional and psychological well-being.

About the Organization\n

At United Behavioral Health Center, we pride ourselves on being at the forefront of mental health and wellness. Our mission is to provide exceptional therapeutic services that empower individuals to achieve optimal mental health. We have cultivated a supportive and inclusive work culture where our therapists can flourish, emphasizing collaboration and continuous learning. This enables our team to provide the most effective and evidence-based treatments available.

Work Environment\n

This position is 100% remote, leveraging telehealth technologies to deliver counseling services. Our telehealth platform allows for seamless interaction with clients, and you will be supported by an advanced administrative team that handles scheduling and client inquiries, allowing you to focus entirely on patient care. Working from Boston, Massachusetts, you will connect with clients across various demographics through virtual sessions, bringing mental health care directly to them regardless of geographical barriers.

Key Responsibilities\n

\n
• Conduct thorough clinical assessments to evaluate and understand clients' unique mental health needs and emotional states.
\n
• Develop and implement personalized treatment plans that reflect the individual goals and strengths of each client, utilizing evidence-based practices.
\n
• Deliver therapeutic interventions, including but not limited to individual therapy sessions and family therapy, employing modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
\n
• Monitor clients' progress closely, adjusting treatment protocols as necessary to ensure effective outcomes.
\n
• Provide crisis intervention services for clients needing immediate support, utilizing your expertise to create safe environments.
\n
• Maintain precise and confidential documentation of client interactions and treatment plans in compliance with HIPAA regulations.
\n
• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team, which could include psychiatrists and social workers, to ensure comprehensive care tailored to the varied needs of clients.
\n
• Engage in ongoing professional development by attending workshops and training sessions to stay updated with the latest research and therapeutic techniques.
\n
• Uphold the highest ethical standards in all interactions, in line with licensing boards and professional organizations.
\n

Patient Population / Client Focus\n

Your role will center around a diverse clientele, including adults and adolescents seeking support for a range of mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. You will have the unique opportunity to make a significant impact on the lives of individuals who may not have easy access to traditional in-person therapy, particularly those in the Boston area and beyond who prefer telehealth services.

Qualifications\n

\n
• A Master's or Doctoral degree in Counseling, Psychology, Social Work, or a closely related field is required.
\n
• Current state licensure as a Mental Health Therapist (LMFT, LMHC, or LICSW) is mandatory.
\n
• Exceptional clinical assessment and diagnostic skills, with the ability to identify and address various mental health issues.
\n
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, fostering trusting relationships with clients.
\n
• A compassionate approach to therapy that prioritizes the client's individual needs and experiences.
\n
• Capable of both independent work and effective collaboration with a team of professionals.
\n
• Knowledge of mental health laws and ethical guidelines applicable to practice.
\n
• A commitment to lifelong learning and professional growth.
\n

Preferred Experience\n

While a minimum of three years of relevant experience in clinical mental health counseling is required, candidates with experience in telehealth or crisis intervention services are highly valued. Familiarity with online therapeutic practices or platforms can set applicants apart.

Compensation and Benefits\n

\n
• We offer a competitive salary ranging from USD 90,000 to 110,000 annually, with potential bonus opportunities based on performance.
\n
• A comprehensive retirement savings plan (e.g., 401k) to assist you in planning for the future.

\n
• A collaborative and supportive workplace culture that values your contributions and well-being.
