HealthRIGHT 360, a nonprofit organization and a family of programs, is committed to providing accessible and comprehensive healthcare services to vulnerable populations. Our mission is to tackle systemic barriers to healthcare and promote health equity for all. We offer a wide range of services, including mental health care, residential and outpatient substance use treatment, and primary health services. Additionally, we provide transitional support for individuals re-entering the community after involvement in the criminal justice system. By integrating physical and behavioral health, we empower individuals to overcome challenges by addressing social determinants of health, fostering resilience, and facilitating recovery.

Prototypes' Outpatient Behavioral Health Centers provide comprehensive mental health services for men, women and children. Services range from prevention and early intervention to intensive services for those with more serious or chronic conditions. Staff provide services at Prototypes and in the community. These can include individual, group and family therapy, psychiatric treatment, medication management and medication-assisted therapies, case management, and referrals and coordination with primary care clinics.

The Clinical Therapist I provides direct mental health services including clinical assessments, diagnoses, treatment planning, therapeutic interventions, and crisis management. Services are delivered through individual, group, and family therapy across various settings such as outpatient offices, residential treatment facilities, and field-based locations, depending on client and program needs. The therapist collaborates closely with a multidisciplinary team to ensure high-quality, client-centered care that aligns with the organization's mission and values.

This is a primarily in-person role with the option to work remotely up to two (2) days per week after the successful completion of the probationary period, based on program needs and supervisor approval.
