At STRIDE Community Health Center, we're dedicated to more than just providing healthcare, we're committed to making a lasting impact on the lives of our patients and the communities we serve. As one of Colorado's largest Federally Qualified Health Centers, we offer comprehensive services, including primary care, dental, pharmacy, behavioral health, health education, and outreach, across our 13 clinics in the Denver Metro area.

With over 35 years of serving our community, our growing team is at the heart of this mission. We believe healthcare is about more than treating illness; it's about fostering wellness and addressing the unique needs of every person, ensuring that no one is left behind. This Licensed Master's Level Clinician (LCSW, LPC, LMFT) provides clinical mental health services to patients in our highly integrated primary care setting.

Much of the day is spent providing brief screenings, assessments, psycho-education and brief therapeutic services in the medical exam room or an in-clinic consultation room. BHPs carry a small caseload of patients for therapy services. BHPs may also work in collaboration with internal and external psychiatric providers to enhance the care of patients taking medication. Deliver brief clinical interventions to STRIDE's patient population in an integrated primary care setting, including screening/assessment for behavioral health disorders, substance use concerns, stress, and/or behavioral challenges with medical regimen, and providing brief therapy services when indicated.
