Job Description

Generalist Behavioral Health Employment Opportunity

CCHS is recruiting behavioral health providers (BHPs) to serve adults, adolescents, and children in community health centers operated by the Cabin Creek Health Systems (CCHS) in Kanawha County, West Virginia. Kanawha County includes Charleston, the state capital, and more rural and small-town areas nearby. CCHS is a progressive and innovative Federally Qualified Health Center with six community health centers and seven school-based centers. Our mission is to promote the health and well-being of all people in our communities, especially the most vulnerable, through healthcare that is guided by science, compassion and respect and to contribute to the education of skilled and caring health professionals. CCHS has been providing integrated behavioral health for over 15 years. At CCHS, you will have the opportunity to provide much needed service to typically underserved populations who face barriers to accessing behavioral health services in rural areas. Community-based BHPs work to provide much needed behavioral health services in primary care sites as a member of an integrated interprofessional medical team. This approach to care makes physical and behavioral health care more accessible, comprehensive, and timely. Our health centers are one-stop shops for rural community members and provide family medicine, behavioral health, pharmacy, dental, and substance use treatment under the same roof. BHPs will provide outpatient behavioral health services, brief consultations (handoffs) with patients and members of the CCHS clinical staff, and collaborate with BH care navigation and other BHPs to manage the diverse needs of patients. Although the majority of referrals are for adult care, BHPs see patients from across the lifespan. In addition to clinical time, the work week is structured to also provide time for case consultation, learning and collaboration with BH colleagues, and projects that foster relationships with other team clinic members.
Ideal candidates have:

• Advanced therapeutic skills to offer interventions to a diverse range of behavioral health concerns
• An interest in working with an interprofessional team of behavioral health and medical providers to address a full range of behavioral and physical health challenges

• Motivation and flexibility needed to meet the unique aspects of integrated primary care
• Cultural competence needed to understand and address the unique needs of rural and underserved communities

Benefits and strengths of Employment at CCHS:

• Opportunity to continually develop and expand clinical competencies to meet the ever-evolving needs of our population.

• Remain connected and supported through frequent colleague consultation and collaboration.
• Opportunity to diversify career with community outreach, project development, teaching, and research.
• The salary and benefits are competitive, including CE time and funds, licensure and professional development funds, professional organization membership expense coverage, admin time, and access to supervision. Opportunities for loan repayment are often available.

Applicants must have a PsyD, PhD, LICSW, LCSW, LGSW (higher levels of training preferred). In line with our values to support diversity, promote health equity, and meet the needs of marginalized and disadvantaged populations, we urge applicants from minority and underrepresented groups to apply.
