Integrated Behavioral Health Therapist

PCHC has an exciting opportunity to help develop a new behavioral health service within our organization. The Integrated Behavioral Health Therapist (IBHT) will work in partnership with a dynamic and interdisciplinary team of primary care providers and their patients to help meet patient’s mental health needs at the moment it is required in the primary care setting.

IBHTs will be providing crisis management as well as short-term solutions-focused therapy to patients, and contributing, educating, and assisting other team members in understanding behavioral health from a clinical perspective. The successful candidate must have skills in generalist therapy practice and be comfortable working with a diverse group of people and diagnoses including substance use disorders.

Familiarity with the primary care setting, and experience using trauma-informed care models will be a plus. Being flexible and open to change, as we learn more about this emerging role, is vital. The position is planned for full-time 40 hours per week on site at a Bangor-area practice initially, with the possibility for limited remote work as the role develops.

A master’s degree in social work, Mental Health Counseling, and license as and LCPC, LMFT or LCSW in the state of Maine is required. Conditionally licensed applicants with appropriate experience and skills are also encouraged to inquire. All externally hired LCSW/LCPC/LMFT's will receive a sign-on/retention bonus ranging from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on prior experience!
