Role Overview
We are hiring for a Therapist for our Specialized Treatment Services (STS) Team. The STS Team is a multi-disciplinary team of case managers, therapists, providers, medical assistants, and nursing staff. STS clients are often not successful in typical Outpatient Services and need dynamic approaches and interventions to gain and maintain stability. Specialized Treatment Services (STS) works with clients with serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI) who typically have co‑occurring diagnoses and are often involved in the criminal justice system. Additionally, the STS Team works closely with SummitStone’s Competency Team to support clients going through the competency process.

As a Behavioral Health Therapist, you will provide on‑going and/or acute clinical assessment, diagnosis, individual, family, and group therapy, crisis intervention, and limited case management services for adult clients with severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI), substance use disorder symptoms, and/or other disabilities. Therapists will develop, document, and monitor treatment plans, treatment progress, and maintain clinical documentation and other reporting data. Documentation and client chart maintenance must meet agency, state, federal, and audit standards. Collaborate with internal (medical, psychiatric, clinical, case management, peers, etc.) and external (referral agencies, family, friends, etc.) treatment team members and supports around a client’s treatment plan goals and progress. Coordinate with collaterals and partner agencies during and after a client’s treatment to ensure sustainable support and step‑down services are in place.
