About The Position

UltaCare Medical has an immediate opening for a part-time Psychotherapist - LPC-MMSP/LCSW. The provider will offer assessment, diagnosis, and management of mental health and psychiatric conditions. This role is focused on optimizing treatment to yield better response, reduced side effects, and improved quality of life. Anxiety, depression, dementia, grief and loss, and a variety of other mental health conditions are prominent challenges in nursing home populations, and these residents deserve a mental health specialist that can help them deal with these challenges. As a psychotherapist with UltaCare Medical, you’ll have the opportunity to use your skills and expertise to make a meaningful difference in the lives of these residents by optimizing their treatments. Our psych team often voices great professional satisfaction and can recite countless experiences where they dramatically helped others by both better treating the underlying condition but also improving quality of life. Schedules are flexible, and the Psych team will work independently and remotely inside of post-acute and long-term care nursing facilities. This means that you can generally choose when you come to work and when you leave, provided that you work the number of hours that have been agreed upon. We require collaboration with nursing home staff, but ultimately you make your own schedule and have the autonomy to do what you are educated and trained to do.
