Licensed Therapist Opportunity at Sierra Vista Hospital

Sierra Vista Hospital is seeking a Licensed Therapist for the Outpatient Department. If you're passionate about working in the behavioral health setting and have the desire to join a team of healthcare professionals dedicated to serving our patients, we want to hear from you! The Sierra Vista Hospital location, a 171-bed psychiatric care facility located in south Sacramento, is a full-service mental health facility and a center of support for patients and their families. Since 1986, we have offered our clinical expertise to those suffering from emotional, behavioral and addiction problems.

Position Summary: The Licensed (LMFT, LCSW, LPCC) Outpatient Clinician is responsible for providing treatment and case management activities to the patient, which may include individual and group therapy, linkage with community resources, and discharge planning.

Qualifications:

• Education: Masters Degree from an accredited college or university in social work, mental health or a related field required.
• Experience: A minimum of one (1) year direct clinical experience in a psychiatric or mental health setting preferred.
• Experience in patient assessment, family motivation, treatment planning, discharge planning and communication with external review organizations or a comparable license preferred.
• Knowledge of medical necessity and documentation standards preferred.
• Licensure: LCSW, LMFT, or LPCC - License required.

Qualified Candidates (About You): You are kind, empathetic, compassionate, and thick skinned. You care deeply about the well-being of others in their most vulnerable state and you have the ability to not take things personally. You can build warm, caring and therapeutic relationships with our patients but still set and enforce limits with regards to what is and what is not acceptable behavior at SVH. You are excited to partner with a multidisciplinary team who have deep knowledge in trauma and therapeutic approaches, and about being part of a culture that treats patients with compassion, dignity and respect. You'd rather respond to challenging behavior by working with our patients to solve the problem than administering a disciplinary consequence. You act as a steward of our organization and, in so doing, uphold our mission and vision, all aspects of your job description, and a focus on the patient's wellness by putting patients' and families' first. You have no time for drama and are willing to have direct and honest conversations with colleagues. You are human, so every once in a while you fall down when executing on the job, and then you ask for help. You take your work seriously and are able to recognize when you need to care for yourself. You are nice, kind, caring and honest.
