Integrated Behavioral Health Clinician

Description

Become part of an inclusive organization with over 40,000 teammates, whose mission is to improve the health and well-being of the unique communities we serve.

Summary :

At UNC Health Pardee, we are committed to delivering whole-person, integrated care that meets patients where they are. The Integrated Behavioral Health Clinician is embedded in a primary care setting, serving as a key member of the medical team to address behavioral health needs in real time. This clinician provides brief, evidence-based interventions and short-term therapy to appropriate patients within the primary care clinic, while also coordinating care and connecting patients to additional resources when longer-term or specialty services are needed.

Clinicians in this role work side-by-side with primary care providers, nurses, and other team members to support timely access to behavioral health care. The position is well-suited for clinicians who are flexible, collaborative, and skilled in providing targeted, solution-focused care in a fast-paced medical environment.

This is more than a therapy role-it's an opportunity to shape how behavioral health is delivered in the medical home, improving outcomes for patients and families across our community.

Responsibilities :

• Provide brief, solution-focused interventions for patients of all ages during primary care visits as needed.
• Deliver short-term, evidence-based therapy within the primary care clinic to patients for whom extended outpatient care is not indicated.
• Conduct focused assessments and screenings to support diagnosis, treatment planning, and provider decision-making.
• Collaborate directly with primary care providers and team members to address behavioral health needs as they arise.
• Support patients and families in managing behavioral health concerns related to chronic conditions, stress, lifestyle changes, and psychosocial challenges.
• Facilitate warm hand-offs and referrals for patients requiring specialty behavioral health or community-based services.
• Participate in team huddles, case consultations, and clinic quality improvement efforts.
• Maintain accurate and timely documentation in compliance with organizational, regulatory, and payer standards.
• Engage in ongoing professional development, maintaining licensure and required continuing education.
