Latino Counseling Center, Inc. (LCC) has served English- and Spanish-speaking communities since 2018. LCC is committed to providing culturally responsive, confidential, ethical, clinically appropriate, and family-centered behavioral-health services.

The CBHI In-Home Therapy (IHT) Clinician provides intensive, family-centered behavioral-health services to youth and families. The clinician is responsible for assessment, treatment planning, therapeutic intervention, risk and safety assessment, care coordination, family engagement, transition/discharge planning, and complete clinical documentation. The clinician must practice only within verified education, licensure status, supervision requirements, payer requirements, and assigned scope.

DOCUMENTATION IS A CORE JOB FUNCTION, NOT AN OPTIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE TASK.Services that are not timely, accurate, clinically supported, authorized when required, and properly documented may create client-safety, continuity-of-care, payer, audit, and billing risk. The clinician is responsible for completing documentation within the timelines below or any shorter deadline required by a payer, contract, regulation, or written LCC policy.

• Provide intensive home- and community-based therapy to youth and families using clinically appropriate and culturally responsive interventions.
• Complete comprehensive clinical assessment and formulation; identify strengths, needs, risks, functional impairment, family/system factors, and medical necessity as applicable.
• Develop measurable, individualized treatment goals and interventions with the youth/family and involved team members.
• Assess suicide risk, self-harm, violence risk, abuse/neglect, exploitation, substance-use concerns, and other safety issues; follow mandated-reporting and crisis-escalation procedures.
• Develop, review, and update safety/crisis plans when clinically indicated and ensure the family understands how to use them.
• Coordinate with caregivers, schools, PCPs, psychiatry, outpatient providers, state agencies, care coordinators, crisis services, and other authorized supports.
• Participate in supervision, case consultation, utilization review, QA, audits, training, staff meetings, corrective-action activities, and re-audits as assigned.
• Maintain professional boundaries, informed consent, confidentiality, HIPAA compliance, and minimum-necessary use of PHI.
• Provide clinically appropriate transition/discharge planning and timely handoff of open safety, authorization, treatment, and follow-up needs.
• Maintain required licensure/eligibility, credentials, trainings, CANS certification when applicable, and payer/program requirements.

The following are LCC job-performance expectations for this position unless a controlling payer/program requirement requires an earlier deadline. The clinician must know and follow the shortest applicable deadline.
