Meet the Team

You will join a behavioral health team of seven clinicians working inside a multidisciplinary Rural Health Clinic. Behavioral health shares the building with primary care, pediatrics, dermatology, hepatology, radiology, lab, and dental services, so collaboration with medical providers happens in person throughout the day.

The team includes licensed therapists, a psychologist, and associate clinical social workers completing hours toward licensure. Peer support staff and a dedicated behavioral health medical assistant support the clinicians.
