Integral Health – Making Behavioral Health Part of Everyday Care

About Us

As a Behavioral Care Manager, you will provide direct, patient-facing behavioral health therapy and coordinate care with primary care providers and psychiatric consultants through the Collaborative Care Model.

This role combines short-term therapy with care management. You will conduct clinical assessments, provide brief evidence-based interventions, monitor measurable progress, complete clinical documentation, and coordinate treatment with the patient’s broader healthcare team.

This is not a care-management-only position. You must be comfortable providing direct therapy to patients, including adolescents, as a core responsibility of the role.

What You’ll Do

• Provide direct, patient-facing behavioral health therapy to adolescents and adults through telehealth
• Deliver short-term, evidence-based interventions using approaches such as CBT, motivational interviewing, problem-solving therapy, and behavioral activation
• Conduct clinical assessments and develop focused, measurable treatment goals
• Assess and respond appropriately to safety concerns, including completing C-SSRS screenings and escalating higher-acuity cases
• Determine when a patient’s needs exceed the short-term Collaborative Care Model and coordinate an appropriate transition to longer-term or specialty treatment
• Work closely with primary care providers and psychiatric consultants to coordinate behavioral healthcare
• Screen for and monitor depression, anxiety, substance use, and other conditions using tools such as the PHQ-9, GAD-7, and C-SSRS
• Track patient progress and adjust interventions when patients are not improving
• Support PCP-led medication management by tracking adherence, side effects, and effectiveness
• Use a patient registry to manage follow-up, outreach, and patient re-engagement
• Document therapy sessions, progress, risk assessments, and treatment recommendations in the EHR
• Complete relapse-prevention and transition plans for patients approaching remission
• Educate patients and families about diagnoses, symptoms, and treatment options
• Participate in regular caseload consultations with a psychiatric consultant

What We Offer

• Pay: $45–$65/hour (based on experience & licensure) + up to 10% annual performance bonus, 5% paid biannually.
• Paid for ALL Your Time: We pay for every minute you work with us — including but not limited to direct patient care, documentation, training, meetings, and professional development. Even if a patient no-shows, you are paid for the outreach/care coordination time.
• Schedule: Set a consistent weekly schedule that works for you and your patients. Contractors must maintain at least 15 hours of recurring availability each week and provide continuity for their assigned patients. Evenings & weekends are required for this particular adolescent therapy role.
• Career Growth: Licensure reimbursement, paid professional development, and the best Collaborative Care training in the industry
• Support: Clinical supervision provided for 20+ hrs/week roles
• Culture: We value self-care — you’ll work in an environment that respects boundaries and prevents burnout

You Have

• Master’s degree + active license in New York (LMSW, LCSW, LMHC, LMFT, or equivalent) — associate or independent licensure welcome
• At least two years of full-time-equivalent, direct mental-health treatment experience, including experience providing individual therapy. Case management, intake, crisis response, or care coordination experience alone does not satisfy this requirement. The two years must be after obtaining a license.
• Ability to commit to a minimum of 15 hours per week
• Familiarity with evidence-based approaches like PST, MI, CBT, and Behavioral Activation
• Comfort with EMRs and tech tools
• Prior remote work experience
• Spanish Speaking/ Bilingual a plus
• Knowledge of the Collaborative Care Model (preferred)

This Role Isn’t for You If

• You are looking for a care-management-only position with no direct therapy responsibilities
• You prefer exclusively traditional, long-term weekly psychotherapy
• You do not enjoy using measurement-based tools to guide treatment
• You are unable to maintain at least 15 consistent hours of availability each week
• You prefer working independently without regular collaboration with physicians and psychiatric consultants
• You are uncomfortable managing clinical documentation, follow-up outreach, and multiple patient priorities
