Intake therapists perform complex therapeutic and psychosocial intake services including counseling, screening, diagnoses, skills training, routine case management, and others as clinically indicated. Intake therapists will deliver all services from a person-centered, culturally, and linguistically appropriate, trauma-informed perspective. Primary responsibilities include providing psychotherapy using state approved evidence-based models (CBT, TF‑CBT, CPT, Play Therapy, PCIT, and Family Therapy) and conducting psychosocial and diagnostic assessments as credentials permit.

Intake therapists ensure individuals seeking services meet financial and clinical requirements for Life Path programs and have the ability to explain offerings based on the individual’s level of care. Intake therapists develop individual recovery plans and collaborate with the individual/family to determine appropriate route of services and level of care. Intake therapists collaborate within the intake team to ensure same‑day access to services.

Therapists must use initiative and independent judgment, troubleshoot and organize support, interventions, and services to achieve outcomes, work independently and collaboratively, and communicate effectively with supervisory staff when necessary. Therapists ensure services provided meet guidelines and benefit plans, comply with TAC rules, and meet productivity targets (80 service hours/month), documentation standards, and training requirements. Availability for crisis coverage may be required.
