Crisis Care Therapist - Telehealth

Crisis Care Therapist | Telehealth

Brightside (www.brightside.com) is a tech-enabled healthcare company. We provide quality mental health care, backed by science, and delivered with humanity.

Brightside Health is looking to partner with licensed therapists interested in our life-saving Crisis Care program. We follow the evidence-backed Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) paired with Brightside’s innovative and effective digital mental health tools to treat clients with elevated suicide risk (those that need more than routine outpatient care but don't require hospitalization) as part of our Crisis Care program.

Crisis Care is a first-of-its-kind virtual care program that offers a high-touch, collaborative treatment approach backed by 30 years of research. We believe that we can leave a lasting, life-changing impact on the lives of those who need it most by creating access to quality mental health care specifically for those at risk of suicide.

Our Crisis Care therapists are also trained to deliver personalized, culturally responsive, and compassionate care to clients of our traditional therapy program at Brightside Health. Using an evidenced-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach, our clients complete live video sessions with their therapist as well as self-guided psychoeducation video lessons and practice exercises outside of session. With Brightside’s innovative care model, 86% of our clients are feeling better in 12 weeks (or less) and we’re delivering 50%+ higher rates of response and remission for depression when compared to a top US health system.
