About High Five Behavioral Health

High Five Behavioral Health is growing, and we are looking for exceptional licensed psychotherapists who want to be part of building something meaningful.

We believe behavioral healthcare should be personal, accessible, compassionate, and centered around the individual—not simply the number of appointments completed in a day.

High Five is expanding from psychotherapy into a more comprehensive behavioral-health organization, bringing together therapy, psychiatric services, medication management, and coordinated behavioral healthcare while preserving the personal relationships that make mental healthcare effective.

We are looking for therapists who share that vision.

The Opportunity

As a High Five psychotherapist, you will provide individualized psychotherapy to patients while working within a growing behavioral-health practice designed to support both the patient and the clinician.

Our therapists have the opportunity to build meaningful therapeutic relationships while High Five works behind the scenes to support scheduling, insurance, billing, technology, compliance, and practice operations.

We want our clinicians spending their time doing what they do best:

Helping people.

What You'll Do

Responsibilities include:

  • Conduct comprehensive behavioral-health assessments.
  • Provide individual psychotherapy based on each patient's clinical needs and treatment goals.
  • Develop and maintain individualized treatment plans.
  • Diagnose behavioral-health conditions when permitted within your professional license and scope of practice.
  • Maintain timely, accurate, clinically appropriate documentation.
  • Conduct appropriate suicide, self-harm, violence, abuse, and other safety/risk assessments.
  • Establish appropriate safety plans and follow High Five's escalation procedures when necessary.
  • Maintain patient confidentiality and comply with HIPAA, applicable Florida confidentiality requirements, professional ethical standards, and High Five policies.
  • Coordinate care with psychiatric providers and other healthcare professionals when clinically appropriate and properly authorized.
  • Recognize when a patient's needs exceed your scope or the capabilities of the outpatient setting and facilitate appropriate referrals or escalation.
  • Participate in case consultation, clinical education, and quality-improvement activities.
  • Maintain appropriate professional boundaries.
  • Help create a welcoming, respectful, and judgment-free environment for every High Five patient.

Who We're Looking For

We are interested in Florida behavioral-health professionals such as:

LMHC LCSW LMFT

Candidates should possess an active Florida license appropriate to the services they will provide and be in good standing with applicable licensing authorities.

We're looking for clinicians who are:

  • Compassionate and genuinely patient-centered
  • Dependable and professional
  • Excellent communicators
  • Comfortable working independently while also being part of a team
  • Committed to ethical, evidence-based care
  • Strong with clinical documentation and treatment planning
  • Respectful of patient privacy and professional boundaries
  • Interested in growing professionally as High Five grows

Experience in outpatient behavioral health and credentialled in multiple Payers is a huge benefit.

The Patients We Serve

Depending upon the therapist's education, experience, competence, licensure, and scope of practice, our clinicians may work with individuals experiencing concerns including:

Anxiety Depression Trauma PTSD Grief Relationship Challenges Life Transitions Stress Panic Mood Disorders Self-Esteem Family Challenges Other Behavioral-Health Concerns

We believe treatment should be individualized rather than forcing every patient into the same therapeutic model.

Why Join High Five?

We're not trying to build a therapy factory.

We are building a behavioral-health organization where excellent clinicians can practice excellent therapy.

As High Five expands, we're developing an environment that provides clinicians with the infrastructure and support necessary to focus more of their attention on their patients.

Our vision includes expanding access to psychotherapy while adding psychiatric and medication-management capabilities, allowing appropriate collaboration across the patient's behavioral-health journey.

Joining High Five during this stage also means becoming part of the organization while we're still building it.

We want great clinicians to have a voice in what High Five becomes.

What High Five Provides

Depending upon the final employment arrangement, High Five may provide:

  • Established practice infrastructure
  • Patient scheduling support
  • Insurance verification and billing support
  • Electronic health record/practice-management systems
  • HIPAA and compliance training
  • Administrative support
  • Credentialing support where applicable
  • Referral and patient-growth initiatives
  • Clinical collaboration opportunities
  • Access to psychiatric/medication-management resources as those services expand
  • Opportunities for increased responsibility and professional growth

Schedule

We are open to discussing:

Full-Time | Part-Time | Flexible Scheduling

We are looking for clinicians who want to develop a sustainable patient panel while maintaining the quality and integrity of the therapeutic relationship.

Compensation

Competitive compensation based on licensure, experience, schedule, employment structure, payer participation, and responsibilities.

Specific compensation and scheduling expectations will be discussed during the interview process.

What We're Building

High Five's mission goes beyond filling appointment slots.

We want a person who reaches out for help to find a clinician who listens, understands, and cares about what happens next.

As we grow, we intend to expand access to therapy, recruit exceptional clinicians, develop psychiatric services, strengthen our relationships with insurance carriers and healthcare partners, and create a behavioral-health organization capable of helping substantially more people without sacrificing the human connection at the center of mental healthcare.

If that sounds like the kind of practice you want to help build, we would like to meet you.
