Clinical Competencies: Candidates must demonstrate proficiency in utilizing evidence-based therapeutic interventions appropriate for the primary care setting including, but not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Problem-Solving Therapy (PST), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) with patients across the lifespan (ages 12+). Candidates must also demonstrate the ability to conduct comprehensive behavioral health assessments and communicate these findings efficiently to other members of the care team. In collaboration with the patient and care team, candidates should be skilled in developing and implementing treatment plans that address the needs of the patient. Candidates must also be able to provide culturally responsive care, respecting and valuing the diverse backgrounds and experiences of patients.
Multidisciplinary Collaboration: The ideal candidate will have experience with and enjoy working on multidisciplinary care teams, including PCPs, nurses, psychiatrists, and other healthcare professionals. Successful candidates will demonstrate proficiency in communicating behavioral health principles to non-behavioral health professionals to facilitate collaborative treatment planning and care coordination.
Communication Skills: Strong verbal and written communication skills are required to enable clear, concise, and effective interactions with patients, team members, and other stakeholders. A commitment to patient-centered care is essential, with a focus on working collaboratively with patients to set goals and develop care plans that reflect their preferences and needs.
Specialized Skills: Successful candidates will have the ability to assess and manage common behavioral health concerns that present in primary care (e.g., depression, anxiety, ADHD), as well as assist patients in coping with and managing chronic health conditions (e.g., diabetes). Candidates will be flexible in their treatment approach as well as adapt to the fast-paced environment of a medical clinic including being interrupted for warm hand-offs, to respond to urgent issues, and field curbside consults. Lastly, candidates should have comfort with utilizing psychological screening measures to assess the efficacy of their treatment plan and drive symptom improvement.
Technology: Comfort with technology is essential, as this job necessitates navigating an electronic health record as well as a registry platform to track symptom improvement.
