We are open to eligible candidates located outside of the St. Louis region who may be interested in joining our team through providing telehealth services. 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. Onsite & Remote work available.

About the Health Psychology Program :

  • You would provide psychotherapy for the treatment of a wide variety of medical conditions and health-related issues.
  • Some examples include cancer, chronic pain, diabetes, cardiac problems, movement problems; and training for treatment of specific health conditions or treatment modalities (e.g., biofeedback, presurgical psychological evaluations).
  • The majority of your caseload would be traditional individual outpatient therapy, with opportunity to run outpatient groups related to Health Psychology.
  • We encourage applicants who have additional subspecialty interests and training.
  • We also allow for tailoring of your caseload, according to your expertise and competencies.
Please see our website https://www.slbmi.com for more information about SLBMI!

About working at St. Louis Behavioral Medicine Institute:

As a full-time employee of SLBMI, we offer:
  • a centralized intake office that screens and schedules a steady flow of clients for clinicians;
  • an efficient and professionally run billing service;
  • marketing support;
  • assistance in managing managed care, including credentialing, and consultation on practice development;
  • the ability to build a diverse caseload around your different areas of interest and specialization, which could include behavior health conditions that fall outside of your Program focus;
  • schedule flexibility to help achieve your lifestyle preferences, while still maintaining an active patient caseload and participating in your specialty program needs;
  • compensation financial plan based upon percentage of net cash collections, allowing you to have more independence in your practice while earning competitive compensation. Such a model allows for the ability to earn more if you desire to have a larger caseload;
  • a multidisciplinary team 70+ excellent colleagues willing to share their clinical expertise for case consultation, continuing education, and program development;
  • opportunities for clinical presentations/speaking opportunities, consultations, research;
  • opportunities to attend weekly training seminars as well as longer, more formal training seminars that occur several times per year (SLBMI is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists)

  • Competitive compensation
  • Professional liability insurance
  • Medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug plans
  • Paid time off
  • 401(K) with company match and discounted stock plans
What are our 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.

Please note that non-licensed providers might be eligible instead for our Postgraduate and Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunities. Please visit our website for information on our training program.

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.
