The Intensive Outpatient Clinician serves as a core member of the High Acuity Team. This clinician provides direct care through facilitation of Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) groups for both adolescents and adults and carries a caseload of 10–12 patients in the Community Stabilization Program—a short-term, community-based psychotherapy program designed to serve individuals requiring a higher level of care than traditional outpatient therapy, or those recently discharged from inpatient treatment. Clinical services emphasize recovery, stabilization, and reintegration into community life.
Plans, coordinates, and facilitates IOP group sessions for adolescent and adult cohorts, emphasizing skill development, psychoeducation, and emotional regulation to promote stabilization and ongoing recovery. This requires evening and weekend shifts.
Delivers evidence-based individual, group, and family psychotherapy to patients in the Community Stabilization Program, maintaining a caseload of 10–12 patients.
Participates actively in interdisciplinary treatment planning, case consultations, and care coordination to ensure continuity and quality of care across levels of service (inpatient, crisis, outpatient, and community).
Completes all documentation in accordance with state, federal, and organizational standards. Ensures timely, accurate, and clinically appropriate charting that supports compliance and optimal reimbursement.
