Reema Health is both a social care and behavioral health provider. We believe that a personalized, community-based approach to care makes it easier for anyone to access the things they need to make their lives better. We know that life's challenges often exist because the systems built to help are a burden to navigate. We believe building a relationship with a real person - someone who listens, meets our members where they are, and understands the community - can ease those burdens and effectively connect members to health care. Our mission-driven and member-focused company is seeking an experienced and self-motivated Licensed Mental Health Therapist to serve the behavioral healthcare needs of our members.

Reema is taking a value-based approach to care, so this role will work diligently to provide the right amount of care at the right time for each of our members, ages ten and up. Rather than a volume-based approach, we believe this model of care delivery will produce the best clinical outcomes for our members and a sustainable and balanced job structure for our clinicians. The Licensed Mental Health Therapist is a key part of our integrated Care Team, helping drive the creation and implementation of our tech-enabled psychotherapeutic care for our members. At Reema, we believe integrating social and clinical care is the most effective way to support member wellbeing. You'll care for members in an outpatient clinical setting, primarily via telehealth, but also in the home and community as needed. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team made up of Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners and non-clinical Community Guides to collaboratively provide a holistic approach to member health, and support you to work at the top of your license. Together, this team is responsible for providing and coordinating member-centered quality care for a panel of members with complex health and social needs.

Reema is expanding our service delivery into behavioral healthcare, so we are looking for someone who is comfortable helping create the details of our care model within the ambiguity of a fast-paced startup. For the right person, this position has the potential to grow into a leadership role.

Primary Responsibilities:

Assess and diagnose behavioral health conditions, both chronic and acute.
Formulate treatment plans for members in consultation with other members of the collaborative health team as the member's condition warrants.
Ensure a behavioral health perspective is incorporated into comprehensive care planning for complex patients.
Complete initial intakes and assess patient risks and needs, delivering therapeutic interventions and therapy (individual, family, and group), and referring and navigating to community resources for access to the broader behavioral health continuum of care.
Collaborate with primary care providers, psychiatrists, social workers, or other professionals to discuss treatment plans and progress.
Provide psychoeducation to members, emphasizing mental health promotion and disease prevention
Support referral for members who need additional specialty behavioral health care (e.g. to an in-patient facility) and advise on treatment plans until members are engaged in appropriate care.
Establish and foster trusting relationships with patients and ensure care is aligned with the patient's goals and values.
Participate in multi-disciplinary case conferences to ensure holistic and appropriate care for patients.
Provide formal and informal coaching and education to other clinical and non-clinical team members about supporting patients with behavioral health issues.
Support post-discharge planning to prevent readmissions.
Timely and appropriate documentation in our EMR to manage member care and coordination with the multidisciplinary team.
Contribute to the evolving design and implementation of clinical pathways and protocols for therapeutic treatment of behavioral health conditions in Reema's care model to ensure we are providing the best patient care possible.

Job responsibilities to grow and change as business necessitates.
