RO-DBT Program Psychologist - Radically Dialectical Behavior Therapy Program

Responsibilities

St. Louis Behavioral Medicine Institute (SLBMI) is seeking Licensed Psychologists with expertise and a passion in Radically Open (RO) Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) (RO‑DBT). We are committed to growth and are looking to hire exceptional talent to join our team of dedicated healthcare professionals.

Local candidates in Missouri are preferred, but not required.

We are open to eligible candidates located outside the St. Louis region who may be interested in joining our team through telehealth services. Interested candidates must be professionally licensed in Missouri, or eligible to treat patients through telehealth via PSYPACT credentialing.

Monday–Friday, dayshift. Onsite and remote work available.

• Candidates must have some RO‑DBT training or be in the process of being trained through the Blended Learning training program. Candidates actively pursuing the training program (but not yet begun) are also eligible, provided they have a pending start date.
• Providers deliver RO‑DBT‑adherent individual sessions and may co‑facilitate adult and/or adolescent RO skill classes.
• You will be able to carry a caseload of individual patients per week and tailor your caseload to other interests and expertise outside of RO‑DBT.
• Collaboration is available through weekly RO‑DBT consultation team meetings.

Our onboarding model is a full‑time base salary guarantee (benefits‑eligible) transitional plan, typically four months, to allow new providers time to build their caseload.

If your clinical experience is more general and your knowledge base is not as specialized as our programs are structured, you may want to consider speaking with us about our Specialist‑in‑Training option.

The Specialist‑in‑Training model is a transitional plan of training, typically six months, designed for licensed providers who need additional training within their program’s area of specialization before being considered a specialist. It includes a reduced minimum caseload with weekly supervision, assigned reading, didactic sessions, increased conceptualization in treatment plans reviewed by your supervisor, attendance of open supervision, and discussion of other SLBMI programs that may be part of your training time.

For both models, revenue generated by your cases that exceed your base salary guarantee will still be assigned to you, allowing you the opportunity to earn greater than your minimum base salary.

Please note that non‑licensed providers may be eligible for our Postgraduate and Postdoctoral Fellowship opportunities.
