You can build a career focused on each patient’s total mental health with Kaiser Permanente. We’re passionate about providing high-quality, affordable, and patient-centered mental health care to our members and the communities we serve. As part of our team, you’ll help empower our members to achieve their physical, mental, and behavioral health goals. Along the way, you’ll enjoy a unique environment focused on training, growth, and advancement.

Our Programs

Adult Mental Health - Working as a collaborative team, the therapist, psychiatrist, and case manager, along with other care team members, diagnose, and develop a treatment plan that is personalized and goal-oriented for each patient. You’ll utilize the latest evidenced-based treatments, therapies, and technologies to help adults dealing with emotional and behavioral problems that could range from depression and anxiety to bipolar and trauma-related disorders. Certain markets feature a racial trauma process group that provides a safe space to discuss intergenerational trauma caused by racism, and addresses self-care.

Child/Pediatric Mental Health - As part of the pediatric psychiatry team made up of a therapist, psychiatrist, case manager, and other care team members, you’ll work directly with patients and their parents/families. This will include diagnosing the patient and developing their personalized treatment plan — one that’s built around their goals. Typically, you’ll help them overcome and manage depression, anxiety, attention disorders, trauma-related disorders, and destructive behavior patterns.

Addiction Medicine and Recovery Services - As part of our addiction medicine and recovery services program, you’ll help ensure that no one faces their addiction alone. Our programs are designed to evaluate and diagnose an addiction, and then help you work with your patient on behavioral therapy and counseling, medication-based treatment, medical treatment of withdrawal (detoxification), and rehabilitation.

Eating Disorder - Treating a range of eating disorders, you’ll be a part of a team of caregivers working with patients who have unhealthy thoughts and behaviors about food and body image. Using your unique skills and compassion, you’ll assist patients while they overcome challenges to achieve their best life.

Telepsychiatry - When dealing with issues such as depression and panic disorders, the biggest hurdle for patients can be scheduling an appointment, showing up, and talking face-to-face about sensitive personal things. We offer telepsychiatry options across our enterprise to give our patients and caregivers a welcome alternative to meeting in person. This showcases our commitment to driving the future of total health with innovative health care solutions.

As part of our team, you’ll meet with patients via telephone or video, depending on their preference, and offer them early and comprehensive care. You’ll have an opportunity to engage with patients on a deep level while they stay in the privacy and comfort of their own homes. This adds a real sense of security for them. We employ a wide range of licensed mental health professionals across our network. Based on the market, opportunities could range from clinical social workers and psychologists to marriage and family therapists.

Autism - Working as part of a team committed to ensuring an early diagnosis, you’ll help put critical support in place to improve the lives of our most-vulnerable members. Utilizing an array of standardized assessment and rating skills tools to diagnose for autism spectrum disorders, you and your team will work collaboratively to diagnose where patients are on the spectrum and determine next steps.
