Job Description

Are you a therapist who thrives at the intersection of mind and body? Who knows the power of collaboration in delivering high quality care? Who believes in the power of the right intervention, at the right moment, from the right person?

Our Integrated Behavioral Health program operates across Providence primary care and pediatric clinics, offering two models of care.

In Primary Care Behavioral Health (PCBH), you'll practice with a wide scope, meeting patients in the clinic where they already show up — no waitlists, no siloed referrals, just meaningful connections with people who might never walk through the door of a traditional therapy office.

In Collaborative Care (CoCM), you'll provide episodic, structured therapy alongside psychiatric consultation, supporting patients through a team-based, measurement-informed approach.

Both models ask the same things of you: agility, a broad clinical toolkit, and the conviction that focused, well-timed therapeutic work can shift the course of someone's health. You'll pivot across populations and presentations, draw on a wide range of interventional skills, and deliver care that treats the whole person.

And you won't do it alone. You'll join a dedicated team of behavioral health professionals — working shoulder-to-shoulder with physicians, nurses, and care team members — who get it: the work, the pace, and the difference this model makes for patients who need us most. If you're adaptable, clinically sharp, and ready to practice at the top of your scope — we're ready for you.

This is a combined posting for a Mental Health Therapist LMFT, Licensed Professional Counselor, and Social Worker LCSW. The requirements of each role are listed below under each associated title. Consideration for each role will be based on qualifications. If you have the qualifications of any one of these three positions, we encourage you to apply.

The Licensed Professional Counselor (Mental Health Counselor) practices in a treatment setting under clinical supervision and is dedicated to evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of psychiatric and substance use disorders.
