About the Position The Behavioral Health Technician will work as part of our multidisciplinary clinical team supporting clients participating in intensive treatment for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and related anxiety disorders . A significant part of this position involves helping clients implement ERP interventions established by the treating clinician.
