  • Provide clinical case management and follow-up to support continuity of care.
  • Conduct psychoeducational briefings and participate in military and community outreach events.
  • Build trusted relationships with Service Members, families, military leadership, and community partners.
  • Maintain timely and accurate clinical documentation.
  • Participate in a shared 24/7 behavioral health hotiline after-hours/on-call rotation with other licensed clinicians.
  • Travel periodically within North Carolina to support Service Members and Guard activities.

What We're Looking For

  • Current, unrestricted North Carolina independent-level license as an LCSW, LCMHC/LPC, or LMFT.
  • At least three years of post-licensure clinical behavioral health experience.
  • Experience providing counseling involving individual, couples, family, mental health, or related psychosocial needs.
  • Experience with crisis intervention, risk assessment, and treatment planning.
  • Strong clinical judgment, communication, and documentation skills.
  • Ability to work independently while contributing to a collaborative multidisciplinary team.

Preferred Experience

  • Experience working with Service Members, Veterans, military families, first responders, or other public-safety populations.
  • Experience treating trauma using evidence-based approaches such as CPT, PE, EMDR, or ART.
  • Experience with suicide-risk assessment and safety planning.
  • Familiarity with military culture and military/Veteran behavioral health resources.
