At Sentara Behavioral and Health Wellness, we are committed to promoting mental health and wellness across diverse communities. Located in San Jose, California, our organization specializes in a range of mental health services with a specific focus on trauma-informed care. We strive to create a therapeutic environment that empowers patients to reclaim their lives and reduce the stigma associated with mental health challenges. Our team is composed of licensed professionals who are passionate about their work and dedicated to fostering resilience and recovery through evidence-based practices.

This role is entirely remote, allowing you the flexibility to perform your duties from the comfort of your home while still delivering impactful care via telehealth. Our telehealth setting emphasizes accessibility, enabling you to connect with patients from various backgrounds and locations, thereby enhancing their experience and treatment outcomes.

• Conduct comprehensive trauma-informed mental health assessments to thoroughly evaluate patients’ histories and identify tailored treatment strategies.
• Develop and implement individualized treatment plans that focus on trauma recovery, resilience-building, and enhancing patients' coping skills.
• Utilize evidence-based therapeutic interventions, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), to facilitate effective healing.
• Conduct both individual and group therapy sessions designed to help patients navigate their trauma experiences, foster coping mechanisms, and promote restorative practices.
• Collaborate closely with psychiatrists, psychologists, and therapists to ensure an integrated approach to patient care, contributing to holistic health outcomes.
• Provide crisis intervention support during trauma-related emergencies, ensuring timely and compassionate responses.
• Educate patients and their families regarding trauma responses and available community resources, enhancing their understanding and support network.
• Accurately maintain confidential documentation in accordance with legal, ethical, and organizational standards.
• Engage in regular case consultations and team meetings, offering insights and receiving guidance to continuously refine trauma-informed care practices.
• Stay informed on the latest research and developments in trauma therapy to provide progressive treatment approaches.

Your work will primarily involve helping individuals grappling with the consequences of trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex trauma, and dissociative disorders. We prioritize creating a safe and nurturing environment where trauma survivors feel empowered to share their experiences and engage actively in their healing process.

• A master's or doctoral degree in Social Work, Marriage and Family Therapy, Mental Health Counseling, or Psychology from an accredited institution is required.
• Current and valid licensure as either an LCSW, LPCC, or LMFT in the state of California.
• 2 years of post-licensure clinical experience is preferred, providing a solid foundation for working with trauma-affected populations.
• A deep understanding of trauma-related disorders, along with expertise in trauma-informed treatment modalities and resilience-building approaches.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills marked by a compassionate and non-judgmental approach to therapy.
• The ability to maintain composure and lead effectively in high-stress scenarios.
• Familiarity with electronic health record (EHR) systems and general computer applications critical for documentation and telehealth services.
• A collaborative spirit, with a proven ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary team.

While a minimum of 2 years of experience is required, we highly value applicants with extensive backgrounds in delivering trauma-focused therapies. Experience in various therapeutic techniques and approaches will enhance your capacity to contribute effectively to patient care.

The annual salary for this position ranges from $90,000 to $100,000, commensurate with experience. In addition to competitive compensation, Sentara Behavioral and Health Wellness offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes:

• Health insurance, including medical, dental, and vision coverage.
