Job Description

  • We're Hiring: Integrated Behavioral Health Provider
  • (Ph.D., Psy.D., LCSW, LMHC, or LMFT)
  • Location: Hawaiʻi Island Community Health Center
  • Department: Behavioral Health
  • Status: Full-time, Exempt
  • Reports to: Behavioral Health Director

About the Role

Are you passionate about whole-person care and making a meaningful impact in your community? Do you thrive in a collaborative, integrated care environment where behavioral health is a vital part of the patient experience? If so, we’d love to welcome you to our team.

As an Integrated Behavioral Health Provider (BHP) at HICHC, you’ll be part of a dynamic care team that includes primary care providers, psychiatrists, and other specialists. You’ll work side-by-side with medical professionals to support patients’ mental, emotional, and behavioral well-being—right where they receive their primary care.

This is not a typical desk job. One day you might be doing a warm handoff in the clinic, the next supporting a patient via telehealth, and another day out in the community helping someone navigate life’s challenges. It’s meaningful work—and it matters.

Key Responsibilities

  • Serve as the behavioral health expert in a fast-paced, integrated care setting
  • Conduct assessments, develop treatment plans, and provide brief interventions
  • Support same-day warm handoffs and collaborate with primary care providers
  • Help patients manage chronic conditions and promote positive behavior change
  • Deliver services in-office, via telehealth, and in community settings
  • Respond to mental health crises with compassion and professionalism
  • Maintain timely and accurate documentation aligned with best practices
  • Engage in continuing education and maintain licensure

Qualifications

  • Licensed in Hawaiʻi (or eligible for licensure) as one of the following:
  • Ph.D. or Psy.D. in Clinical/Counseling Psychology
  • LCSW, LMHC, or LMFT
  • Minimum of 3 years post-master’s experience
  • Experience in integrated care, FQHCs, or working with underserved populations
  • Strong communication skills and a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive approach
  • Proficiency with EHR systems and clinical documentation
  • Team-oriented with the ability to work independently

Why Join Hichc?

At HICHC, we live by the value of pono—doing what’s right for our patients, our team, and our community. We offer:

  • A supportive, mission-driven work culture
  • Opportunities for professional development
  • The chance to live and work in one of the most beautiful places on Earth
  • The satisfaction of knowing your work truly makes a difference

Benefits

  • Scrub Reimbursement: Up to $100 annually
  • Health Coverage: Medical, dental, vision, and prescription insurance
  • Financial Security: 403(b) retirement savings plan
  • Work-Life Balance: Generous paid time off and holidays
  • Peace of Mind: Life, disability, and workers’ compensation insurance
  • Flexibility: Flexible spending accounts
  • Support: Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • Extras: Hawaiʻi Life Flight, AFLAC, and pet insurance

Ready to Make a Difference?

If you're ready to bring your skills, heart, and aloha spirit to a team that values integrated care and community wellness, we’d love to hear from you.
