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.

• Candidates ideally should have some experience treating adults within eating disorders, specifically within CBT or DBT.
