DBT Dialectical Behavior Therapy Program Psychologist

Licensed Psychologists Needed At St. Louis Behavioral Medicine Institute

St. Louis Behavioral Medicine Institute (SLBMI) is seeking licensed psychologists with expertise in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). We are committed to growth and are always looking to hire exceptional talent to join our team of dedicated healthcare professionals. Note: Local candidates in MO preferred, but not required.

Interested candidates for this option must be professionally licensed in Missouri, or eligible to treat patients through telehealth via PSYPACT credentialing.

Our clinicians enjoy the aspects of being an independent provider that are appealing, while having the administrative and operational support to manage everything else that you need as a provider. Our dedicated and multidisciplinary team of 70+ colleagues are willing to share their clinical expertise for case consultation, continuing education, and program development. SLBMI prides itself on being a team-oriented environment that thrives on collaboration and providing compassionate behavioral healthcare! Shift: Monday-Friday, dayshift.

About the Dialectical Behavior Therapy Program

Clinicians applying to this program need to be trained and/or willing to be trained in adherence in the Linehan protocol, including participating in weekly DBT consultation group. We are interested in candidates who work great with adult and/or adolescent patients. Subspecialty or additional specialty interests are welcomed. Our clinicians can choose to tailor their caseloads to have as little - or as much - variety in case presentations as they would like and as appropriate to their skillsets. SLBMI offers outpatient care (traditional individual outpatient therapy, outpatient group therapy) and separate Intensive Outpatient Programs for Adults and for Adolescents. You would have the opportunity to work at all levels of care. We also allow for tailoring of your caseload, according to your expertise and competencies.

Onboarding Options

Our Onboarding Model is a full-time base salary guarantee (benefits-eligible) transitional plan, typically four months, to allow new providers time to build their caseload. If you believe that your clinical experience is more general in nature and your knowledge base is not as specialized as our programs are structured, you may want to consider speaking with us about our Specialist-in-Training option! Details below.

Specialist-in-Training Model

Our Specialist-in-Training model is a transitional plan of training, typically six months, that is meant for licensed providers who need additional training within their program's area of specialization prior to being considered a specialist in that area of practice. Generally, the Specialist-in-Training time consists of: a reduced minimum caseload with weekly supervision; assigned reading; didactic sessions to discuss the readings and receive additional education; increased conceptualization in treatment plans reviewed by your supervisor; attendance of open supervision and discussion of other SLBMI programs that may be part of your training time. Other types of activities may be possible which would enhance your skills as a clinician in general, as well as within your specialty area. For both models, revenue generated by your cases that exceed your base salary guarantee will still be assigned to you, allowing you opportunity to earn greater than your minimum base salary.

Qualifications

Interested applicants must have completed a Master's or doctoral degree in a clinical mental health field (e.g. MSW, Professional Counselor, Ph.D) AND be fully licensed by the State of Missouri to practice independently. Psychologists who do not reside in Missouri must have a current Psychology license in a PSYPACT state that they reside in, hold a current PSYPACT credential and be willing to maintain that credential. All applicants must be credentialed-eligible for managed care panels in Missouri. There is a required 90-day wait period for insurance credentialing to be completed prior to starting.
