To meet this aim, we have an opportunity for a Behavioral Health Consultant (BHC) to join our primary care behavioral health (PCBH) team. Your role will be to work alongside medical providers to deliver behavioral health care to patients in a primary care setting.

As a BHC you may be involved in running groups for a variety of health needs (e.g., chronic pain, pregnancy), developing strategies to systematically address specific concerns (e.g., smoking cessation), and engaging in preventive activities such as universal screening, parenting education and stress management classes.
The BHC will support primary care providers with warm handoffs, behavioral treatment recommendations, in-flow crisis response, training, and program development. Our outpatient behavioral health program will also support the BHC with patients requiring additional behavioral treatment. The BHC will utilize short-term interventions, including psychoeducation, skill training, and CBT, ACT, and Motivational Interviewing techniques.
