REMOTE OPPORTUNITY!

St. Louis Behavioral Medicine Institute (SLBMI) is seeking Licensed Psychologists with expertise and a passion in the area of Radically Open (RO) Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) (RO-DBT)! We are committed to growth and are always looking to hire exceptional talent to join our team of dedicated healthcare professionals.

Note: Local Candidates in MO preferred, but not required. We are open to eligible candidates located outside of the St. Louis region who may be interested in joining our team through providing telehealth services. Interested candidates for this option must be professionally licensed in Missouri, or eligible to treat patients through telehealth via PSYPACT credentialing.

Our clinicians enjoy the aspects of being an independent provider that are appealing, while having the administrative and operational support to manage everything else that you need as a provider. Our dedicated and multidisciplinary team of 70+ colleagues are willing to share their clinical expertise for case consultation, continuing education, and program development. SLBMI prides itself on being a team-oriented environment that thrives on collaboration and providing compassionate behavioral healthcare!

Shift: Monday-Friday, dayshift. Onsite & Remote work available.

About the Radically-Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy Program:

• Candidates to join must have some RO-DBT training or are in the process of being trained through the Blended Learning training program. Candidates who are actively pursuing the training program (but not yet began) are also eligible for consideration, under the prerequisite that they must have a pending start date for the training program. However, receiving an RO-DBT intensive training certificate is not a requirement to be considered. We will support and encourage you to pursue the intensive training as part of your practice in accordance with our Specialist-in-Training model (see below for details).
• Providers within this program provide RO-DBT adherent individual sessions, with opportunities to co-facilitate our adult and/or adolescent RO skill classes.
• You will be able to carry a caseload of individual patients per week, while tailoring your caseload to other interests and expertise that you have that may be outside of RO-DBT.
• Collaboration available through RO-DBT weekly consultation team meeting.

What are our Onboarding options?

Our Onboarding Model is a full-time base salary guarantee (benefits-eligible) transitional plan, typically four months, to allow new providers time to build their caseload.

If you believe that your clinical experience is more general in nature and your knowledge base is not as specialized as our programs are structured, you may want to consider speaking with us about our Specialist-in-Training option! Details below.

SPECIALIST-IN-TRAINING MODEL:

Our Specialist-in-Training model is a transitional plan of training, typically six months, that is meant for Licensed Providers who need additional training within their program's area of specialization prior to being considered a specialist in that area of practice. Generally, the Specialist-in-Training time consists of: a reduced minimum caseload with weekly supervision; assigned reading; didactic sessions to discuss the readings and receive additional education; increased conceptualization in treatment plans reviewed by your supervisor; attendance of open supervision and discussion of other SLBMI programs that may be part of your training time. Other types of activities may be possible which would enhance your skills as a clinician in general, as well as within your specialty area.

For both models, revenue generated by your cases that exceed your base salary guarantee will still be assigned to you, allowing you opportunity to earn greater than your minimum base salary.

Please note that non-licensed providers might be eligible instead for our Postgraduate and Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunities. Please visit our website for information on our training program.

Qualifications

• Interested applicants must have completed a Master’s or doctoral degree in a clinical mental health field (e.g. MSW, Professional Counselor, Ph.D) AND be fully licensed by the State of Missouri to practice independently.
• Psychologists who do not reside in Missouri must have a current Psychology license in a PSYPACT state that they reside in, hold a current PSYPACT credential and be willing to maintain that credential.
• All applicants must be credentialed-eligible for managed care panels in Missouri. There is a required 90-day wait period for insurance credentialing to be completed prior to starting.
• Candidates must have some RO-DBT training or are in the process of being trained through the RO-DBT Blended Learning training program.

The Ideal Candidate:

• is passionate about RO-DBT and how it can dramatically improve the lives of patients who suffer from diagnoses of over-control.
• Understands that RO-DBT is a journey that requires continuing education and collaboration with peers.
• is self-motivated and excited about the opportunities of working in our setting.
