The therapist leads the collaboration among an interdisciplinary team to develop, coordinate, and facilitate all direct social services interventions to patients assigned to their caseload and their support systems. The therapist utilizes empirically supported therapeutic techniques, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with exposure and response prevention (ERP), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), or family therapy, to aid in the stabilization and recovery of individuals with mental and behavioral health concerns.

The therapist creates a safe and supportive environment where patients gain insight into the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and work towards achieving their goals. The therapist may be responsible for other duties as directed by their manager/clinical operations supervisor to support direct patient care as well as system initiatives. The therapist will work in an acute care setting that includes inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization and/or intensive outpatient services.
