Purpose:

UPMC’s Integrated Advanced Care Providers (IACP) is looking for a Behavioral Health Therapist II to join the team! The IACP professional practice recognizes PCP’s as primary mental health partners. Our therapists are embedded into the primary care teams. They will work with a wide range of diagnoses and ages referred by their PCP for behavioral health treatment and services. We promote a shorter-term model therapy program with psychiatry back up consultation. This model allows us the quickest way for patients to get in to see a therapist through in-person and telehealth.
