Since 1986, we have offered our clinical expertise to those suffering from emotional, behavioral and addiction problems.

Position Summary : The Licensed (LMFT, LCSW, LPCC) Outpatient Clinician is responsible for providing treatment and case management activities to the patient, which may include individual and group therapy, linkage with community resources, and discharge planning.

About Universal Health Services :

One of the nation’s largest and most respected providers of hospital and healthcare services, Universal Health Services, Inc. (NYSE : UHS) has built an impressive record of achievement and performance, growing since its inception into a Fortune 500 corporation. Headquartered in King of Prussia, PA, UHS has 99,000 employees.

Position Requirements :

Education : Masters Degree from an accredited college or university in social work, mental health or a related field required.

Experience : A minimum of one (1) year direct clinical experience in a psychiatric or mental health setting preferred.

Licensure : LCSW, LMFT, or LPCC or Associate-level BBS registration (AMFT, ASW, APCC) required.

Qualified Candidates (About You) : You are kind, empathetic, compassionate, and thick skined. You care deeply about the well-being of others in their most vulnerable state and you have the ability to not take things personally. You can build warm, caring and therapeutic relationships with our patients but still set and enforce limits with regards to what is and what is not acceptable behavior at SVH.

You are excited to partner with a multidisciplinary team who have deep knowledge in trauma and therapeutic approaches, and about being part of a culture that treats patients with compassion, dignity and respect. You’d rather respond to challenging behavior by working with our patients to solve the problem than administering a disciplinary consequence.

You act as a steward of our organization and, in so doing, uphold our mission and vision, all aspects of your job description, and a focus on the patient’s wellness by putting patients’ and families’ first. You have no time for drama and are willing to have direct and honest conversations with colleagues. You are human, so every once in a while you fall down when executing on the job, and then you ask for help. You take your work seriously and are able to recognize when you need to care for yourself. You are nice, kind, caring and honest.
