Licensed Mental Health Therapist - Athens
About The Position
Geode Health is recruiting a licensed Mental Health Therapist to provide outpatient mental healthcare in the greater Athens, Georgia (Westpark Drive) market. The therapist diagnoses and treats mental health disorders, provides psychotherapy across a general spectrum of mental health conditions, and helps patients define goals and gain insights through personalized care. The role also includes care coordination with other healthcare professionals and crisis intervention when needed. The position uses evidence-based, measurement-based care, with patient outcomes tracked through data to inform treatment plans. Therapists work as part of an integrated team and partner with prescribers to coordinate psychiatric and therapeutic care. The role offers flexibility to design a schedule in advance, with full-time hours expected. The typical hybrid arrangement is three days onsite and two days providing telehealth, though more onsite time may be needed initially while building a patient caseload.
