As part of the MHI team, the Integrated Health Therapist (IHT) serves as a provider and partner in total child wellbeing, based in a PCP's office, at a regional outpatient Hub, or a combination of the two based on program needs. The IHT conducts mental health services, including diagnostic assessment, triage, psychotherapy, and multidisciplinary team treatment planning in the provision of clinical intervention. The IHT applies principles of social work, psychology, counseling, and other behavioral health practices to offer services such as brief therapy, psychoeducation, case management, problem solving, advocacy, and crisis intervention. The IHT is connected to a patient/family primarily via referrals from the patient's PCP, which is facilitated by a Warm Hand-Off from the medical provider and followed by a same day assessment and triage by the IHT to identify and address mental health needs early. Post-assessment, the IHT provides brief, evidence-based therapy, and coordinates referrals, where appropriate. The IHT comanages patient care along the PCP and acts as the main contact for and liaison between the patient's referring provider, psychiatry team, care coordination team, and other treatment team members. The IHT supports medical providers through ongoing consultation and provides continuous mental and behavioral health education. Patient care is provided both in person and via telehealth depending on patient preferences and scheduling availability.
