About The Position

The Therapist leads collaboration among an interdisciplinary team to develop, coordinate, and facilitate direct social service interventions for patients on their caseload and their support systems.

The role creates a safe, supportive environment in which patients can understand the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and work toward their goals. The Therapist works in an acute care setting that may include inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization, and/or intensive outpatient services, and may take on other duties assigned by a manager or clinical operations supervisor to support patient care and system initiatives.
