Licensed Mental Health Counselor - Syracuse, NY (Hybrid)

Be the Bridge Between Mental Health and Whole-Person Care

At Galileo, we know that behavioral health is just as important as physical health-and access to the right support can change lives. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), you'll help patients navigate life's challenges, access critical resources, and improve their overall well-being.

If you're passionate about meeting people where they are-whether in their homes, community spaces, or via telehealth-and guiding them toward meaningful change, this role is for you.

How You'll Make an Impact

As a key player in our interdisciplinary care team, you will:

• Assess the Whole Person - Conduct comprehensive psychosocial evaluations to understand behavioral health needs, mental status, and social determinants affecting care.
• Deliver Targeted Behavioral Health Support - Provide short-term, evidence-based interventions (Motivational Interviewing, Critical Time Intervention, Trauma Informed Care) to help patients manage mental health challenges.
• Be a Crisis Stabilizer - Offer timely crisis intervention, coordinating higher levels of care when needed.
• Connect Patients to the Right Resources - Help patients navigate community services for social support, housing, substance use treatment, and more.
• Educate and Empower - Serve as a trusted resource for patients, families, and healthcare providers, offering guidance on behavioral health conditions and treatment pathways.
• Drive Care Coordination - Work alongside primary care providers, health advocates, and community resources to ensure patients receive comprehensive, well-integrated care.
• Document and Improve - Maintain clear, compliant clinical records and contribute to ongoing quality improvement efforts.

Who You Are

You're a compassionate, resourceful, and clinically skilled mental health counselor who thrives in dynamic, community-based care settings.

We'd love to hear from you if you have:

• LMHC with 1-3 years of post-master's clinical experience in behavioral health, integrated primary care, or community-based settings.
• Experience working with serious mental illness (SMI), substance use disorders (SUDs), and co-occurring conditions.
• Strong skills in psychosocial assessments, crisis intervention, and treatment planning.
• A collaborative mindset-comfortable working alongside medical providers, care coordinators, and community partners.
• A solution-focused, proactive approach to helping patients navigate care barriers.
• A high level of clinical judgment, adaptability, and organizational skills.
