Behavioral Health Clinician
Turnagain Community Health – Girdwood Alaska
Turnagain Community Health (TCH) is a mission-driven federally qualified health center serving the Girdwood and greater Anchorage community. We are seeking a licensed or license-eligible Behavioral Health Clinician to join our integrated care team and provide compassionate, high-quality outpatient behavioral health services across the lifespan.
This role is ideal for a clinician who values relationship-based care, continuity, and meaningful connection with patients – and who wants their work to truly matter in a close-knit community setting.
What You’ll Do
· Provide individual therapy to adults, adolescents, and/or children, including treatment for substance use disorders and couples counseling, based on training, licensure, and clinical interest
· Deliver trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and patient-centered care
· Collaborate closely with primary care providers as part of an integrated care team
· Maintain timely, accurate clinical documentation
· Participate in team meetings, case consultation, and quality improvement activities
What We’re Looking For
· Licensed or license-eligible clinician (LCSW, LPC, LMFT, Psychologist, or equivalent)
· Strong clinical judgment, warmth, and professionalism
· Comfort working with patients who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions
· Commitment to ethical practice and ongoing learning
· Ability to work in person at our clinic in Girdwood at least part of each week
A hybrid telebehavioral health schedule may be possible for a portion of the workweek, depending on patient needs and clinic operations; however, regular on-site presence is an essential expectation of this role.
Why Join Turnagain Community Health
· Mission-driven work with deep community impact
· Supportive, collaborative team culture
· Opportunity to build long-term therapeutic relationships
· Competitive compensation and benefits
· Loan repayment eligibility (NHSC), depending on position and qualifications
· Stunning setting at the base of the Chugach Mountains
To apply: Please submit a resume and brief cover letter describing your clinical background and interest in community health and integrated team-based practice to: Kalie Harrison, Administrative Practice Manager, K.Harrison@ghcak.org.
