Our mission is to provide comprehensive psychological support tailored to the needs of each client. We emphasize a collaborative approach, integrating behavioral health services with primary care to address the holistic needs of our clients, particularly in vulnerable populations within the hospice setting.

This position is fully remote, allowing for flexibility in balancing work and personal life.

• Screen and counsel patients regarding prescription and illicit drug abuse as well as alcohol misuse, offering support and appropriate resource referrals to those in need.

The primary client population served includes individuals facing complex mental health disorders, particularly those receiving care in a hospice setting. This role demands sensitivity and a nuanced understanding of end-of-life issues, grief counseling, and support for families as they navigate challenging emotional landscapes. Our clinic serves a culturally diverse clientele, and as such, a commitment to delivering culturally competent care is essential.

• Must possess a Master’s degree in Counseling or Social Work from an accredited institution.
• Valid and current LCSW license to practice in California.
• Exemplary clinical skills, with a demonstrated ability to handle complex cases and initiate crisis interventions effectively.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, allowing for effective collaboration with both healthcare professionals and patients.
• Proficiency in electronic health records and a commitment to documenting patient interactions clearly and accurately.
• Experience working with a diverse population is mandatory, with professionalism and maturity in judgment essential to the role.

• Experience in hospice or palliative care settings is preferred, providing an understanding of the unique challenges faced by this patient population.
• Knowledge of local, state, and federal behavioral health programs that support and enhance patient care.
• Demonstrated proficiency in evidence-based therapeutic techniques, particularly those relevant to grief and loss counseling.
