Job Description

Are you passionate about mental health and love the idea of working side-by-side with medical professionals to make a real difference in people's lives? We're on the lookout for a Behavioral Health Consultant to join our Primary Care/Health Home team-someone who thrives on collaboration, values whole-person care, and brings warmth and expertise to every interaction.

As a Behavioral Health Consultant, you'll be the go-to pro helping patients tackle behavioral health challenges, manage chronic conditions, and take control of their well-being-all while supporting primary care providers and playing a vital role in integrated care.

What You'll Be Doing

• Screen and assess individuals for mental health and substance use concerns

• Provide brief, targeted behavioral health interventions to help patients make meaningful changes

• Offer behavioral support strategies that empower patients to manage chronic illnesses and improve overall health

• Collaborate with primary care teams to address behavioral health needs in real-time

• Share knowledge and educate patients using tailored, easy-to-understand resources

• Be a vital part of the clinic's mission by supporting a team-based care approach

• Deliver direct care and consultation that meets all professional and program standards

• Prioritize safety, quality, and inclusivity in every interaction

• Ensure care is always age-appropriate and patient-centered

• Bring a friendly, approachable attitude to every patient, visitor, and colleague

• Stay sharp and informed-keeping up with all compliance, licensing, and ethical standards

What You'll Bring

• A Master's Degree in Social Work or equivalent education/experience combo

• Current licensure as a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) or Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)

• At least 3 years of experience in a healthcare setting

• Strong communication skills (both written and verbal)

• Ability to read and speak English fluently

You won't just be another provider-you'll be a key voice on the care team, a champion of mind-body health, and a part of a mission that truly matters. Our team values collaboration, compassion, and continuous learning. Plus, we believe in having each other's backs.
