Welcome

Signet Health is seeking a licensed therapist to join a highly stable, award-winning outpatient behavioral health program embedded within MedStar Washington Hospital Center. This program operates under a long-standing partnership with the hospital and was named Outpatient Program of the Year in 2024.

Overview

About Signet Health

At MedStar Washington Hospital Center, Signet maintains a long standing and stable partnership. Therapists are fully integrated within the hospital’s outpatient behavioral health program and supported by a strong hospital based infrastructure designed to support high quality patient care and clinician success.

If you are interested in joining a stable, collaborative, and mission driven behavioral health team within a respected hospital system, we encourage you to apply.

What Sets This Position Apart?

This is a fully benefited W-2 position and not a contract or PRN role. The schedule is predictable and runs Monday through Friday during daytime hours with no nights, weekends, or on call responsibilities.

The primary focus of the role is outpatient individual therapy using a structured, time limited treatment model. Therapists also have the opportunity for clinical variety through structured cross coverage when needed. These services may include Partial Hospitalization Program services, Intensive Outpatient Program services, intake assessments, virtual therapy, addiction services, and group therapy.

Clinicians work within a collaborative interdisciplinary environment that includes licensed social workers, psychologists, counselors, psychiatrists, medical assistants, and nursing support.

The program is supported by a strong administrative infrastructure including scheduling and patient registration support, credentialing teams, revenue cycle support, and onsite operational leadership.

Additional benefits include free onsite parking and convenient access to nearby restaurants and amenities. All programs operate under accreditation standards from the Department of Behavioral Health and The Joint Commission.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide outpatient individual psychotherapy and treatment planning using a structured, time limited treatment approach.
• Provide cross coverage support when needed for Partial Hospitalization Program services, Intensive Outpatient Program services, addiction services, intake assessments, and group therapy.
• Collaborate with psychiatrists and other interdisciplinary care team members to support coordinated patient care.
• Maintain accurate, timely, and compliant clinical documentation.
• Participate in case consultations, team meetings, and program related activities.
• Provide services in accordance with Department of Behavioral Health and Joint Commission program standards.

Ideal Candidate

This position is a strong fit for therapists who prefer a consistent Monday through Friday daytime schedule and enjoy structured outpatient therapy. Successful candidates value in person collaboration with colleagues and appreciate working within a team based clinical environment.

The role is well suited for clinicians who want exposure to multiple levels of behavioral health care without being permanently assigned to higher acuity settings. It is also a good fit for therapists seeking a stable long term W-2 role with full benefits and institutional support, and for those interested in expanding their professional credentials through multi state licensure with employer assistance.
