Job Description

We’re building a better health system! At Nice, we make healthcare accessible by delivering integrated primary, musculoskeletal, and mental health care through convenient in-home and virtual visits. By cutting through the complexity, ineffective management, and time constraints that often limit clinicians, we’re able to focus on what truly matters: high-quality care.

At Nice, we’re more than healthcare providers—we’re dedicated partners in our patients’ wellness journeys. Our core values reflect this commitment:

  • Love everyone the way you want to be loved (assume the best)
  • Oops: Safe space to make, own, and learn from mistakes
  • Quality: From peers to patients, 7-star service on a 5-star scale
  • Efficiency: Keep a light foot in a heavy industry
  • High EQ: Intentional about how we show up and communicate
  • Ethical: It’s always the right time to do the right thing

The Team and the Role

The Mental Health team at Nice Healthcare has an exciting opportunity for an eager Mental Health Therapist!

In this role, you’ll work in a team-based approach toward achieving wellness and improved overall health for each individual receiving care, with an emphasis on behavior change to address subclinical and mild to moderate clinical mental health conditions.

You will work in a highly collaborative, fast-paced startup environment with the primary aim of increasing ease of access to mental health services.

Primary responsibilities include completing comprehensive assessments, providing individual therapy to adults utilizing a multi-session yet brief model of care, and consulting with medical providers and other members of the care team.

How You’ll Make an Impact at Nice

Conduct clinical assessments, including administering and interpreting standardized screening tools, to evaluate clinical acuity and determine the appropriate level of care.

Collaborate with colleagues, patients, and families to develop and implement inclusive care plans that reflect the intersecting identities of the patient and address their comprehensive treatment needs.

  • Regularly monitor progress toward treatment goals and adjust interventions as needed.
  • Deliver brief, evidence-based psychotherapy to individuals or groups based on the treatment plan.
  • Document all assessments, interventions, and progress notes in the EHR system, as well as utilize other digital platforms for patient care.
  • Coordinate care and collaborate with community agencies or external providers when necessary.
  • Provide psychoeducation to patients and their families to support treatment outcomes.

Consult with primary care providers, such as FNPs, PAs, and physical therapists, to clarify diagnoses, conceptualize cases, provide brief interventions, and develop shared care plans.

Serve as a subject matter expert by participating in patient-facing webinars or creating training materials for colleagues.

Engage in internal training opportunities led by colleagues across the mental health, physical therapy, and primary care teams.

Provide culturally responsive care, considering the unique lived experiences and needs of patients from diverse backgrounds.
