Position Summary: ACT is an acronym for "Access to Collaborative Treatment." Collaborative treatment refers to a model of care in which primary care providers and mental health providers collaborate to deliver the most effective services for a variety of mental and emotional disturbances. These disturbances include but are not limited to trauma, depression, and anxiety. ACT takes a trauma informed, strengths-based, and person-centered approach to clients, recognizing the effects of numerous environmental factors that prevent people from living safe and healthy lives. ACT uses evidenced-based interventions including, but not limited to, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. The ACT Clinician educates clients about various mental health concerns and the indicated interventions. The ACT Clinician seeks to enhance the capacity of clients to address their own needs.
