Intern Mental Health Counselor

Contract (1099 independent contractor)
Flexible, set around your availability
Supervision: Board-approved LPCS supervision provided on site at no cost to you

SkyCare Services is a Rock Hill based behavioral health and in-home care agency serving children, adolescents, adults, and families across York County and the surrounding area. Our outpatient mental health program operates from our main office on Ebenezer Road and receives referrals from the community, from Medicaid managed care partners, and from our school district partnership with Rock Hill Schools, including the alternative school and its overflow referrals.
We are looking for a Licensed Professional Counselor Intern (LPCI) who is ready to start building a caseload right away. We provide the clients, the office, the electronic health record, the billing, the credentialing support, and your board-approved supervisor.
This is the role for a newly licensed intern who does not want to spend the next two years hunting for a supervisor, paying out of pocket for supervision hours, or waiting on referrals to trickle in.
Your supervision is free. SkyCare provides a board-approved Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPCS) on site at no cost to you. Your supervisor is in the same building, immediately accessible, and reviews and co-signs your documentation.
Individual and group supervision is scheduled at the intervals required by the South Carolina Board of Examiners, with supervision logs maintained so your hours are documented correctly for full licensure.
Scheduling support, verification, authorizations, claims, and collections are managed by SkyCare. You are not chasing payers or building a practice from scratch.
Hours are flexible and we build the caseload around your availability, including evenings if that works better for you. Tell us the days and times you can be in the office and we schedule to it.
