The care manager works in consort with the OB provider and consulting psychiatrist to assess and treat non-complex behavioral health conditions using evidenced based medication and brief-psychotherapy modalities. The successful candidate will be skilled in collaborating with a multidisciplinary team, and experience working directly with people from diverse racial, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. The candidate should hold a master's degree in a mental health-related field (LCSW, LMSW, LMHC, LMFT) or be a registered nurse with relevant behavioral health experience. Ideally, candidate will possess experience with assessment and treatment planning for common mental health disorders, and working knowledge of evidence-based psychosocial treatments and brief behavioral interventions for common mental health disorders, when appropriate (e.g., behavioral activation or anxiety management). Additionally, the candidate will demonstrate ability to effectively engage patients in a therapeutic relationship by phone, video and in person.

Specific Responsibilities:

Under general direction and with considerable latitude for independent judgement within established procedures:

• Provide or facilitate in-clinic or telehealth evidence-based psychosocial treatments as clinically indicated.

• Participate in regularly scheduled caseload consultation with the psychiatric consultant and communicate resulting treatment recommendations to the patient’s medical provider.

• Consultations will focus on patients new to the caseload and those who are not improving as expected under the current treatment plan. Case reviews may be conducted by telephone, video, in person or via Electronic Health Record.

• Facilitate referrals for clinically indicated services outside of the organization (e.g., social services such as housing assistance, mental health specialty care).

• Provide brief, in-person individual interventions using evidence-based techniques such as behavioral activation, problem-solving treatment, parenting support, or other treatments as appropriate.
