Ideal candidates have experience working with patients across the lifespan (ages 12+) using empirically supported treatment, working in a primary care setting, and who enjoy working in a fast-paced environment.

• Track patient engagement and clinical outcomes using a registry.
• In consultation with the patient, PCP, and psychiatric consultant, facilitate treatment plan changes for patients who are not improving as expected and who may need more intensive or more specialized mental health care.

• Dedicated administrative and care coordination support from LifeStance staff.
• Clinicians who do best in this setting enjoy a quick pace, think well on their feet, and value interdisciplinary work.
