Making Behavioral Health Part of Everyday Care About Us At Integral
Health, we partner with primary care providers, ACOs, and MCOs to
bring behavioral health into the heart of value-based care. Our
mission is simple: make high-quality mental health care accessible
to everyone. We’re a growing, innovative team led by leaders from
diverse clinical and healthcare backgrounds. We don’t just “add”
behavioral health to a practice—we help redesign how care is
delivered so patients recover faster, stay healthier longer, and
feel supported every step of the way. The Role As a Behavioral Care
Manager (BCM), you’ll work side-by-side (virtually) with primary
care teams to identify, treat, and monitor patients needing
behavioral health support — all within the Collaborative Care
Model. This isn’t traditional therapy. You’ll utilize short-term,
evidence-based interventions, monitor measurable progress, and make
real-time treatment adjustments to ensure patients receive the
proper care at the right moment. If you love: Using your clinical
skills to make a measurable impact Collaborating closely with
physicians, care managers, and psychiatric consultants Trying new
approaches that go beyond “business as usual” in mental health
…then this role is for you. What You’ll Do Work closely with
primary care providers to coordinate behavioral health care for
their patients Screen and assess for depression, anxiety, substance
use, and other conditions using tools like PHQ-9, GAD-7, CSSRS
Monitor patients for progress, with a goal of 50% or a 10-point
reduction in symptoms Support PCP-led medication management by
tracking adherence, side effects, and effectiveness Use a patient
registry to follow up, re-engage, and adjust care plans Facilitate
changes when patients aren’t improving — from medication tweaks to
therapy referrals Document progress and recommendations in the EHR

in remission Educate patients and families about conditions and
treatment options Join regular caseload consultations with a
psychiatric consultant for support and guidance What We Offer Pay:

bonus Paid for ALL Your Time: We pay for every minute you work with
us — including and not limited to direct patient care,
documentation, training, meetings, and professional development.
Even if a patient no-shows, you are paid for the outreach/care
coordination time. Schedule: Flexible hours– you choose your own
hours! Career Growth: Licensure reimbursement, paid professional
development, and the best Collaborative Care training in the
industry Support: Clinical supervision provided for 20 hrs/week
roles Culture: We value self-care — you’ll work in an environment
that respects boundaries and prevents burnout Pathway: Part-time to

This Role Isn’t for You If You’re satisfied with the status quo in
behavioral health You avoid working with physicians or practice
leadership You dislike juggling multiple priorities or fast-paced
environments Join Us If you’re ready to help reshape how behavioral
health is delivered in primary care — and see your patients get
better faster — we’d love to meet you.
