Summary:
Under the direction of the Clinical Program Manager, Practice Manager, and Medical Director, the Behavioral Health Clinician II (BHC-II) provides clinical services to children, adolescents, and their families who have experienced trauma, including child abuse, sexual assault or exploitation, exposure to violence, and/or traumatic grief, in a trauma specialty clinic/child advocacy center (CAC). In addition, we serve clients across the lifespan who have been impacted by attempted homicide or homicide/vehicular homicide. Clinicians provide individual and group therapy and utilize evidence-based, trauma- and grief-focused treatments. The BHC-II demonstrates a master's-level knowledge of developmental stages, personality structure and development, behavioral health diagnoses, current treatment modalities, therapeutic processes, ethical guidelines, and a trauma-informed approach to care.
The primary function of the BHC-II is to provide psychotherapeutic treatment to the assigned population. Clinical responsibilities include conducting intakes to obtain patient history information, contributing clinical impressions, making preliminary diagnoses, and participating in the development of interdisciplinary assessment and treatment plans. Treatment often involves collaboration on multiple levels, both within the agency and with external providers, to support children and families in navigating the complex systems they face as a result of trauma (e.g., fellow CAC staff; representatives of state agencies such as the DA's office and DCF; community-based behavioral health agencies and programs; and community primary care providers). The BHC-II also participates in outreach and survivor-driven programming to support empowerment and build community resilience. They may also have opportunities to become involved in education and training on trauma-related topics within our student programming and in the larger community.
