Description
Weekly outpatient therapy isn't always enough, and a trip to the ER isn't the only answer. Patients and their families rely on Compass Health Center when in crisis – every day, we help people overcome depression, anxiety, suicidality, obsessions/compulsions, trauma, chronic pain, and other obstacles in order for our patients to live freely.
About This Role
As the largest provider of PHP/IOP programs and psychiatric services in Illinois, Compass Health Center is one of the fastest-growing behavioral health organizations in the country. We are thrilled to expand our exceptionally innovative and highly distinguished programs that redefine our industry and raise the standard for comprehensive care.
Launching in early 2027, our newest location in Falls Church, VA, will be home to top local talent in behavioral health care. This interdisciplinary team of trailblazers will build our adolescent and adult programs from the ground up alongside the leadership of well-established clinicians and doctors working in PHP/IOP behavioral health care for the past decade.
As we prepare to open our Falls Church facility, we are seeking an Intake Therapist to help guide our patients in taking their first steps towards healing. If you are passionate about supporting patients through a fundamental part of their personal journey here at Compass, while being an expert on compatible programs and resources, you would be a great addition to our team.
Please note that this role is set to start in early December and will consist of 10 weeks of training prior to launching for patients.
What You'll Do:
- Complete initial intake evaluation to determine diagnosis and appropriateness of program
- Interface with program directors during intake process regarding patient appropriateness for programming
- Work with patients and families regarding appropriate referrals if treatment at Compass Health Center is not indicated during intake
- Screen potential intakes and answer questions from families, providers, and potential patients
- Chart and communicate with our utilization review department regarding initial insurance authorizations
- Facilitate group therapy and family therapy, as needed (e.g., when intake census is lower, intake therapist may be requested to assist with proving coverage leading groups or covering family therapy sessions)
- Participate in professional development activities
Who You Are:
- Licensed Doctorate Level Psychologist or Masters Level Clinician with a clinical license
- 1+ years of clinical experience conducting intake assessments and individual therapy
- Have knowledge and experience utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), as well as other empirically supported treatments
- Have previous experience with patients in crisis
- Have worked in a PHP/IOP, residential, or inpatient setting
We are committed to a fair and equitable work environment. The expected compensation range for this role is below. This range includes multiple career path levels across the organization; where you fall in the range is dependent upon a number of factors including, but not limited to, your years of experience, type of experience, location, and education/certifications. Compass reserves the right to update these ranges.
We know job descriptions can be intimidating, so if this sounds like an opportunity for you, please don't hesitate to apply!
